Didn't you sand it to paint it? That is why its chipping if you didn't sand. I would find a good powerwash in your area. Call around and see if anybody has a HEATED power wash tha tyou could use. It should take it right off.
 
rear panles... thats not much of a biggy ...get a can of paint thinner and a cloth and just wet it with the liquid and scrub it off it'l take a while but it'll come out pretty good....if all else fails ..i suggest u hit the junkyard panels at the junky are very innexpensive...

Thanks guys, I have a guy only TWO doors down with a power washer, i will try to use that at first, and if that doesn't work, I think that i'll go with the paint thinner, cuz that's what I was thinking of first. If all else fails i was think'n the junk yard, since first gen's are SO popular there!
 
Aight thanks! I'll remember that, cuz I don't nessecairly wanna ruin the panels!
 
You don't want to use a paint thinner because that will usually eat away at the plastic. If there's a paint store near you go and look for "reducer." I used it to take the paint off of my whole interior becuase some kid who owned it before me spray painted everything and now it's chipping and cracking. All you have to do is put in on a cloth and wipe the paint right off. I got it for a local guy who sells all kinds of car paint and such. I don't know the brand name of it, but if you need more info, just pm me and I'll find out for you. Hope that helps
