Just wondering. Is it just a question of using ordinary paintstripper,
or is there more to it?


I'd like to remove the paint from the sides of my laptop PC, before I
sell it. The paint at the edges and corners has worn through, where my
hand and wrist rested while using it.


I doubt there's any paint involved. This type of plastic is usually self
coloured. It can change colour where worn, though.

Not so. Its uusally sprayed with an ultra thin layer of something ultra
cheap.
