If it needs to be stripped off, would the typical paint stripper be safe to do so?

Any suggestions/comments/opinions are greatly appreciated!
Well I had a crazy idea when I tackled this: I grabbed a Scotch Brite scrubbing pad and Brakleen brake cleaner, it didnt damage the plastic and didnt make any marks either, after which i passed a sponge with WD40 and it even shined a little, I didnt even feel the need to paint it, tho I might after.
