Stripping paint off instrument panel

[Chris64]

The dash was filthy and flaking so I washed it with warm soapy water and it flaked way worse. I then went with a scrubber sponge and some Comet to see if that would take it all off. It didn't really change much.

If I paint over it, it will just flake off. If I sand/wire-brush it, it I will ruin the texture.

I tried some lacquer thinner on the back and it worked ok but definitely damages the chrome. So ideally, something that could strip it off without damaging the chrome underneath.

Any suggestions?

Try a soft wire wheel with a drill attachment, with light pressure.

Try acetone or other chemicals on the back. Mechanically removing the paint will damage or scratch the chrome.
