ABS plastic is different than what your Capricorn has. Your Capricorn's plastic is plastidipped™.
It's actually rather delicate and can stuff easily or worse yet have the finish come off completely. If you're gentle you can use Mr clean magic erasers. Scrub too hard with them and you can take your paint right off. Good luck to you man. | ||

Thanks, but, I read the letters ABS stamped in the plastic. Also, research brought me to one product....Dot 4 brake fluid. But, Easy-Off popped into my head and I tried that. Plastic scrub brush and it melts away. This means I can repaint the machine any color I choose. Be safe out there! | ||

Funny, I was gonna suggest brake fluid. Oven cleaner was a good idea. In general, I stay away from 'safe' and 'eco-friendly' chemicals, that's just a fancy way of saying they suck at their job. Use the real harsh caustic paint stripper that burns your skin and wrinkles the hairs in your nose. Cuz it gets the job done.
Also, brake fluid is a very nasty chemical. If it weren't used as brake fluid, I guarantee you it'd be banned it most first world countries. It's not terribly harmful to get on your skin or anything (though you should wash it off soon), but it's very toxic. | ||
