paint really messed up

I was painting my dash cluster, the plate outside, I first painted it silver, then I was painting little black flames on it, anyway it looks like poo, and now I wanna pull the paint offa it, and re-paint. What can I use to strip the paint?

try pealing it off. if the paint didnt stick, it might just flake off. or just paint over it.

Spray on paint stripper will work great. You can get a can at wal-mart. Just spray it on and wait an hour and then just spray it down with water.
Dont get it on your hands, especially if you have any cuts cause the stripper burns like heck.

try to find plastic paint stripper, regular stuff for metal is not good for plastic. i'll eat away at cement, think what it would do to plastic.
