is their a good way to get spray paint off of my trim? i've seen volvos with bumpers like this before, but i want a nice uniform look.

i was thinking of using paint stripper or thinner, but i don't know if it will be ok on the trim or not.

because the bumper is plastic and i'm afraid that if i sand it it will be all nasty. also, their are little indentations on the bumpers that I am not sure i would be able to sand out. but if you think sanding it off won't hurt it then i will try that.

Use a Medium grain sandpaper and you should be fine.

Why don't you just take it to a body shop.
