chalky plastic panels
I was going to start a thread about this very thing ... nice ya'll beat me to it. :-D
I've been restoring an old Radio Flyer tricycle for a valued FABO member customer's granddaughter. The metal looks fairly spectacular but the flat black Duplicolor paint I bought for the plastic parts is terrible!

Despite what I thought was thorough paint prep (light sanding and spotlessly clean), it hasn't even had a butt on the seat yet and the brand new hand grips, pedals and wheel caps are peeling!

I've got to do something with this thing and get it back home to Pennsylvania where it belongs so she can ride it before her tenth birthday. LOL
I can spray powder with the best of 'em but I've never claimed to be a painter. What's the best method for removing new Duplicolor paint from 30-year old plastic? I've got some powder coat stripper but it's pretty heavy duty and I doubt if the plastic would survive a dip in it. Thanks in advance for any pointers. :-D
