Bad trim paint

I bought a project sedan a couple months ago and recently started cleaning up the interior.

The previous owner thought painting every piece of trim in the car was a good idea, but didn’t use any primer. Even the headliner is painted
im hoping to get some ideas on how to remove the paint. Going to try pressure washing in a bit.
will paint thinner ruin the plastic? Or should I just repaint then properly?

Re: Bad trim paint

Not sure on the paint thinner, maybe try a bit on the back side of an easily removed panel.

Other options

-wrap everything you can
-interior swap from junkyard car

been searching junkyards online and it seems the closest one with my car in stock is 3hrs away. Might go this weekend and see what the interior is like.
Do you have a brand you recommend for wraps? I’ve only ever done headlights with some cheap 3m stuff
