Can it be removed easily with a pressure washer, It's already chipping? I hate painted plastic.

no it cant.. go to autozone and get some stripper that is called aircraft stripper.. it will come off easy then.
can you tell me the process of painting that you done to it. how long has it been painted. what caused it to start chipping..

Your mailbox is full. Aircraft stripper would damage the plastic would'nt it? And it was painted before I got it.

it wont damage the plastics but you will need to repaint them the right way or just have some messed up looking plastics.. Im sure they got sanded and all kinds of stuff before they were painted so you can get the paint off but its still gonna be not very good looking.
There is a company called SEM that has bumper stripper that is made for plastics but it all works the same. SEM product is kinda expensive though. 13 a can i think vs 5 or 6 for regular aresol stripper.

If it's sanded underneath plastic renewal should work right?

I dont know what paint they used or how they prepped it. It was done before I got it. The spots where it had already chipped the plastic looks good as if they lightly sanded it or maybe not at all. It dont have a nice shine but it looks like I could live with it. I figure a pressure washer would bring it off because it looks like it was'nt prepped good. As I can take my finger and start to peel it but was told if I get to close with a pressure washer I could damage the plastic.
