Yeah those fall off quite often. I removed the map out of this one before trying to strip the paint. The nail polish remover didn't work as good on this one as the paint was in better condition. While scrubbing off the paint with the scrub pad I also sanded through the plastic clear coat in spots. I grabbed some 2000 sand paper and attempted to sand off all the clear coat too. I then applied Turtle Wax plastic restore. That stuff has worked magic on other plastic pieces I've used it on. This time wasn't as magical. It's too cold to paint right now, but I'll probably take it apart again and paint it. It matches well with the dash leather but is not as shiny as the boot leather. The plastic's natural clear coat matches perfectly. I think using some other kind of paint removal where you dont have to scrub as much would be better.
