Default question about the car's bumper

my 91 accord's black bumper thing has like white paint or tape or something and im planning to sand it off, but i am worried that if i sand off too much, all of the black will come off and there will be a different color on the inside

this is the part im talking about

Before I would start sanding I would try some paint thinner or Tar and bug remover or something like that. Just try a little spot on that streak and see what happens. I think I would try that before I would start anything serious.

Not too familiar with you year accord but isn't that just a peice of molding? If it is, I would go to the honda dealership and just buy a new one if you want to go that route.
