I'm guessing you need some kind of paint stripper. Maybe even just plain old paint thinner.

I'm not too sure as I have never had to deal with that but I'm sure your question will be answered within the next 24 hours.

Its going to be a mess if you try and move it. The best thing you can do. Go get a new interior. I used paint thinner to get the blue off my old parts. But I had to dip them in paint thinner for like 5 min. So you cant really do that with your dash and big parts.

take out the parts and wet sand them down and repaint them the color you want. i like my painted interior cause it matches my outside color.

ya either way ya got alotta work sandign and repainting different color OR just replacing the whole interior panels...

if ya want stock just advertise that youll trade for stock panels.... maybe someone will like them and rather swap the interior than try themselves...

you can just use brake fluid some guy on honda-tech did it with good results and his were blue http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=598255
also i would soak them longer tho cuz its still pretty hard to get off...ive also heard of using oven cleaner?
