When we repainted my car I had them soda blast the bumpers. there are paint strippers that you can also use that is made for the flexible material.

No didn't do it myself, had a local corvette shop do it. It's just like sandblasting except you use a soda type medium in the sandblaster. A compressor with enough CFM is needed I believe around 15 or 18 CFM or larger and it has to be able to hold that CFM continuously. I completely took the car apart and let them prep and paint it. Then I reassembled it.
