To strip or not to strip?

What you need to be aware of is if its been painted with enamel paint. If you tjen go over it with acrillic itll do a weird cracking thing and youll have to strip the paint regardless. Nail polish remover works well, bit is very time consuming. Personally i always prefer to strip the paint to have a cleaner finish and avoid the irritation of any detail glugging up.

Nail polish remover sounds good but doesn't it damage the plastic??
Sorry for all the questions.

I just had to strip a truck because my paint was real bad . I used Super Clean from Walmart that took of most of the paint over nite,you have to submerge the cab . It took 2 gallons. the primer I used 90% rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush to get it of . Now I’m back to a white cab . Use rubber gloves and glasses ? Mike

Sort of but faster . I don’t know what would be the same down there . Can you google super clean and find a product like that ?
