fuming nitric acid   Grin

It depends on the paint (Ducpainter?), but how about a little rubbing alcohol and some Scotch Brite?

How about original Easy Off oven cleaner (not the stuff designed for self cleaning ovens, that's weak)...

Who said it was supposed to be easy?   Wink

Avoid stripper on plastic...hell avoid chemicals of any kind.

What grit paper are you using?

I think patience is the best bet.  But short of that, what about a minimally abrasive media blast.  Maybe something like walnut shells or a soda blast.  I have never tried that on plastic myself, but it may be worth an experiment.

Be very careful with the carbon pieces! If you sand off the first layer of epoxy and get to the point that you see the fabric of the carbon, you will then need to re apply epoxy to the carbon.  Just be patient!

I start with 80, which is much much coarser. Then  I do it all again with 120 and then 200 all the way to 2000 if needed.  It depends on what you are doing.  Each round gets progressively quicker and easier.  The quicker results may help with any patience short comings.  I know it helps me.  bacon

Start with 80 or 100. Sand until you just start seeing plastic showing through in spots.

Then switch to 150 or 180. Use a block or hand pad to keep things flat. You don't need to get every bit of paint off.

All the pieces will be getting primed and the scratches will get filled.
