Paint removal from canopy?

Is there a solvent that will remove rattle can paint without damaging the plexy? Boggs Nope. Too risky. Try scratch removal type polishing compound first. If there is any wax or polish on it you may well find this will get it off(thinking over spray). If thicker, see if you can chip it with your finger nail. Beyond that you may be into sanding. I'd start at 1500 with a block tat just covers the area, followed by finer grits up to 4000 or 5000, then polish. Good luck UH

Paint removal from canopy?
Basically agreed.
NO solvents! Period. Use an old credit card to remove the bumps, make sure plexi is clean, almost can't use too much water..... Then start at 1500 WET......wet......not a double print, just emphasis....... Work your way up from there. Around 3000 grit WET, you can compound (finish cut grade) and then wax.
