How do I remove paint from a plastic (acrylic) chandelier?

I would expect to base my removal on what kind of paint I had used to paint the acrylic. For example, if I had painted with latex or acrylic craft paint I'd try soaking in soapy water and see if it would soften enough that I could peel the paint off. I would try scraping with something blunt like a wooden popsicle stick. I would be very careful using any solvents or paint removers, I'd be afraid they might damage the finish of the acrylic surfaces. Good luck on your project!

repaint or soak in ammonia water.

Try Avons skin so soft.It takes paint off your skin.Don't know if it will work for you-----but you can try it.

Just soak for about 10 minutes in hot water.It should just peel off!

I'd say soak in hot water if water based paint was used, but if any electrical parts get wet, then you will need to re-wire it, and replace any electrical parts. Ammonia will cause the acrylic to cloud up. If oil based paint was used, I don't think that will come off without ruining the acrylic, no matter what you use as a paint remover. Personally, I would simply paint it different color, and forget trying to remove the paint.

try Goo Gone a painters pal from Home depot. Spray it heavily and wrap it in plastic and set the whole thing in a large plastic bag over night. Wrapping it in plastic is to keep it from drying out. This is safer for hands and has almost no odor. It is good for lots of stuff. Cleaning hands etc

WD-40 always works for me to remove old paint, then use some extra light steel wool

Nail polish remover will work.The best option,luke warm water!

Perhaps I'm missing something, but do you need to take it off? Could you just repaint it? So if it was bronze before just get some bronze spray paint - or whatever color it used to be. Seems like getting the paint off is going to be messy and time consuming.
