    V70r bumper paint remover??

    Hi Guys..

    I have a problem!!

    Took my front and rear v70r bumpers to be painted today and was told that whoever had painted them before didnt prep the surface so that is why the paint is coming off in sheets.

    To save loads of money they said either high pressure wash them or use high pressure air and watch the paint peel off. I did this with a jet washer and loads of paint has come off, but there are a lot of large areas where it wont budge.

    Does anyone know of any other method please?? eg:- can a stripper be used ?? or not..

    Would very much appreciate any advice plz.
