I've got a bit of metal with plastic bits attached (wind deflector for a car

want to break them, as it'll mean a new part.

If I use a paint stripper like nitromors, am I likely to dissolve the
plastic? It's a fairly complicated shape but I could most likely remove a
fair bit of paint and surface rust with a dremel. I intend to paint it with
hammerite, but these things tend to spend a lot of time in water / damp.


You could try caustic soda


Yes, as long as it's an oil based paint. Won't touch acrylics although
it sometimes crazes the surface making it easier to remove by mechanical
means.
