Removing Paint From A Painting Lure

[jkustel]

I have a batch of lures I plan to repaint. Just got setup with some soft plastic paint. I attempted to remove the paint from one of the lures with laquer thinner and while it seemed to break the paint down ok it also seemed to chemically affect the plastic underneath?!?

Anyone know of a good solvent to get the paint off without attacking the lure itself? I was considering trying some acetone.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

have you tried soaking it in worm oil for a few days?

That won't effect the plastic, but might loosen the paint

the plastic and the paint are both vinyl based, anything that will break dow the paint enough to remove it will affect the plastic.
