Hi.
I've got a '16 TRD-OR with the chrome rear bumper caps. I bought the black un painted OEM versions on Ebay, but the stock ones are much thicker and sturdier than these replacements. I've got a painter who will respray them MGM but wants bare plastic. Do you guys/gals know if there a paint stripper out there that is safe on plastic that I can use to remove the stock chrome for this project?

I have used Easy Off Oven cleaner to remove chrome from plastic parts before. Not Toyota parts specifically though.
