Default What do you use to strip paint from vents, panels, etc?

So...I'm trying to strip the paint from the vents and panels that some idiot ricer painted, but the stripping spray is eating up my stuff. What can I use to strip the paint but won't eat up the plastic? I was using some stripping spray that I got from Kragen. Any ideas what else I can use. Worse comes to worse, I'll sand and repaint black.

I would just paint over the ricer color with regular black paint or what ever color is stock. Easyer then trying to strip the old paint with out wrecking the plastic.

Just get some cheap ones from the scrap yard. I'm sure they aren't that expensive.

I can't find any at the moment. I'm hoping to run across some kids with a dead civic in their driveway. But so far....they're all riced and painted. So....nothing so far. And I can't find a matching gray spraycan. If you know anyone....let me know. I'll buy!
