Rep Power: 394 Lacquer thinner works, but it also eats plastic. I would try lacquer thinner and a toothbrush. Otherwise I'de try using an airgun that shoots little particles and maybe try some small plastic particles to strip the paint off. You'de have to have this equipment though.

Rep Power: 0 The only bad thing about using laquer thinner is that it can dull the finish on your vents...but that's a chance you take when you paint things.

Maybe carb cleaner? To take off anodized colors off of alloy, EZ Oven-Off in the yellow can works well. Not sure if I'd try either of these on your air vents.. but if your daring enough [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]
EDIT: maybe some brake fluid.. dunno. I dont recommend any of the above. BUT, if you try it let us know!
