Break fluid has worked great for removing paint from metal parts for me.
But you have to leave it soaked in break fluid for a few days, or even a week, so the paint will start to flake right off. I tried Easy OFF, but it didn't work at all on my metal parts.

Polystrippa works good but not 100% sure about plastic. Brake fluid is a bad idea IMHO, although it may work. I don't know how good it is for the plastic. What is wrong with sandpaper? work from a coarse down to very fine and you won't see scratch marks.

Not sure on what to use on plastic aside from sand paper, but I'm sure you should not use break fluid or nail polish remover on plastic as these stuff might damage the plastic pretty easily.

Break fluid appears to weaken the plastic, or atleast thats what the results appeared to be the last time we attempted to remove paint with it.
For metal, all I can say is a grab a few sheets of fine grit sand paper a high quality scrub brush. Pop in a good movie and settle yourself in for a few hours.

Strong nail polish remover & 000 (aka supa-fine) steel wool works for me. For metal, that is. Don't know about plastic.

You can also buy paint stripper from Rona / Home depot for metal.
