Im trying to remove some interior paint from my car. I was wondering If using regular paint removal stuff will work fine or will it harm the vinyl. If so.....can anyone recommend a specific brand??

how well is the paint on there? I just removed some paint off of some del sol vents because I used crappy paint (dont buy walmart krylon!). I used warm water, and a screw driver and it scraped right off.

A lot of paint removing chemicals will harm the plastic. even nail polish remover will eat through a styrofoam cup.

well, as far as I know stuff like paint thinner wont work cause its corrosive as crap, same with nail polish remover. I dont know honestly, maybe talk to some people at car painting shops or maybe an art supply store (?).

The warm water method should work for you, its just you have to be real patient. Just sit down outside on a nice day, bring the radio and work assembly line style...it sucks, but its the cheapest way.
