   i wouldnt use nitromors, it will more than likely melt the plastic
   
   just use some thinner or petrol if you can or swathem with somebody

    nitromors should be used for metals mate i really wouldnt use it on plastics
    
    i used it to strip my wheems and some got on the tyres and it melts rubber slightly so it will be the same on plastic
