Default Stripping 79-82 Seat Frames

I'm fixing up a couple of late model C3 seats to put in my 73. One of the seats has been painted a couple of times by Bubba. What can I safely use to strip off the paint? They appear to be some sort of molded plastic so I don't want to melt them while I'm stripping the paint. Ideas?

There is a product available at WalMart called "Peeler". I'm almost certain it is "plastic friendly". Read the label, though...

They are made of fiberglass, I'm sure a stripper that is safe for fiberglass should work

Due to a "painter" that ripped me off, I had to strip the paint from mine. Used Nitromors (paintstripper) with no ill effects. I wouldn't use it on the hinge covers though, I just used it on the seat back/bottoms. Due to the "grained" finish of the parts the stripper tended to be very dificult to get off. A jet wash gets it off OK.
