I thought my 71 had the wrong headlight surrounds so I purchased the correct white reproductions. Once I took off my black ones I noticed someone had painted over the original ivory ones. What is the best way to remove the black paint without damaging the original color? Thank you.

I would try using Easy Off brand oven cleaner. Spray it on and leave it for a few hours, then rinse it off. It won't damage the plastic; I have used it to remove paint from old scale model slot car bodies painted in the 1960's. Obviously, don't put the plastic parts in the oven; just use the Easy Off at room temperature.
