I wouldn't use a a paint stripper.. Sandpaper and primer would be best.

Oh, I didn't read carefully enough. I thought it was on metal. I dont know anything besides maybe gas that will take the paint off plastic. You might have to repaint it.

you can't remove paint from plastic w/o ruining the plastic. You'll have to repaint it.

Yeah, paint thinner would be useless. Time to buy new panels or repaint it.
