What do I use to take layers of paint off an old mirror frame? It is not wood on the frame but green plastic.? - old mirror frames
It can be bakelite, but I'm not sure yet. We do not want to spoil the aim of plastic with a stripper, which is too strong. He has a white coating and a layer of brown paint. It is dated 1940 Dart Indiana.

Start with water and ammonia, and see if it is soft. If by chance, it is latex paint. If this is not enough as they work harder to solvents. Alcohol, methanol, acetone, naphtha, lacquer thinner are less aggressive than the stripper. When do both, the fruit-based strippers are less stringent than most other species. Even if you do a test area should be in a position to the right product, can not find the plastic damage.
Some of the largest plastics such as bakelite ... have been very hard ... and not others. Good luck!
I think that fake nails of plastic and solvent for nail polish will be made used to remove nail polish. I
try to see the rear frame of the mirror just to see if it "merits" of plastic holder. If the plastic is hard, it should not.
I found the wonders of turpentine in the paint or ink, it `s liquid, which removes the layer of the layer at a time and does not remove the plastic or damage! or U can try to remove the liquid color ... Good luck!
ps. are mostly, if not all the hardware --
This is something that is gentle enough to melt hand, do not stain or plastic, but goes right through the paint. This is called "Easy-Off"! You know, Easy-Off oven cleaner. Use only the smoke, the blue can. The other is burned. So, let the back of the mirror, because you are painting, and you do not want that!
I learned by accident that after shaving aqua velvet, the paint very well - I think it was a latex paint
