You will note if you look at that table that ABS is *not* resistant to most effective chemical paint removers. The safest ones to try first would be caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) or brake fluid (glycol).
You have to be one of the most resoursful guys on the old interwebs Forrest.
I don't know what plastic it is. How does one check this?

Anyway, I'm honestly more inclined to just sand it. Any opinion on whether or not sanding it is a good idea?
