    i was wondering if anyone knows a safe way to remove paint from plexi without damaging or cracking the plexi in the process

    i was thinking that paint thinner would surely warp or distort it in some way, but didnt know if acetone would do the same.

    thanks

    I'd imagine that sanding it off then re polishing the plexi would work well, though a little bit time consuming

    depend on the paint. if it was latex then a razor blade would be my tool of choice

    try wd-40. Took the spray paint right of ny case by acident. Good thing it was only a primer :duh: It was on metal tho. Ive used it to clean the plastic windows of my jeep so it "should" be safe.
