Default Tru Flex bumper paint removal

Have razor bladed 90% of the car, went fast. Replaced the ft bumper, but still have to the Tru Flex rear bumper.

Options are to sand it or strip it, any suggestions? Trying to stay away from the stripper but sanding may be a pain. Open for suggestions

I would see if in your area you have someone who does media blasting ( plastic shot or crushed walnut shells) and have them do a test spot on it and see if it damages the surface.

If that fails to give a good result. Next would be to do a small test spot (behind the license plate area) with chemical and see what it does.

If that fails...the it is sanding till you get hand cramps. Been there, done this before.
