K Here is my delema...
I'm useing the BullDogg Flexible Bumper Paint Stripper to remove the paint from the plastic body moldings.... So far its working as the picture below but on the second pic the molding on the right is hard as hell to remove... The Flexible Bumper Paint Stripper does not work on it... When I sand it down, it smells like house paint like Latex and when sanding it it turns into powder... What else can I do. Keep sanding it? I'm using 120 grit sand paper...

use a really rough sandpaper (80 ?) on the worst parts and then put the paint stripper on it, take car not to gouge the panel with the rough paper, just score the crap stuff, then the stripper will get in and underneath the paint and help release it.
