I might do a search for local wrecked cars and see if I can test it out on something first and when I do, Ill report back on results.
The "paint" is just a thin layer of different coloured plastic. Any solvent that will remove it will damage the plastic underneath as well. You will probably just end up with a sticky, ugly mess if you try strippers.
