Revert to factory paint?

[error]

The previous owner my gs did a rattle can job to baby blue over the factory purple. Is there any way I can strip the baby blue but keep the original factory paint intact?

Try gasoline. Depends on how much he sanded. I hate the whole concept of painting over perfectly matched factory paint. Why dont we draw over the monalisa with crayons, or draw sharp outlines over a monet, it has a lot of purple. I can see if the paint was mismatched panels ... then OK.
Cool.

I will try gasoline.. Would lighter fluid work any better?

I would call an automotive paint shop and get their advice.  -- JIM

Ooo actually start with wd40. It definetly wont hurt anythign and will get most rattle can jobs off by getting under it and not dissolving it like gas would do.
I guess lighter fluid may be your next stop. Its kerosene or paraffin right ... OK stay with gas then.
Cool.
