Default fix bed rails

OK I painted my bed rails about a year ago bc they were faded really bad. At the time I used krylon fusion paint and clear. Now it is starting to come off and I want to repaint it. I'm just not sure how to go about removing what's already coming up without ruining the plastic.

Wow, I just did my cowls last night with krylon fusion...I thought it would hold out better than that...Hand sand maybe? It'll be tough with the ridges tho

Paint remover and wire brush to remove the tough stuff. They won't come out perfect but it beats having faded plastic.

One more thing don't use the clear. I used the high gloss black which lists its sheen a bot after baking in Florida sun and ended up looking like new. Mine have held up over a year.

Thanks for the input guys. Yeah I'll use krylon fusion again but won't do the clear round 2.

No clear, and hit it with adhesion promoter first.
