How would you repair spray painted panels?
The door panels in my new hatch have been spray painted black and whoever did it did a shity job. When it is hot the panels are sticky and the paint rubs off. I was just wondering if there would be a way to repair them without replacing. Maybe spraying over with vinyl paint?

Yes, removing the paint will be the first step but will vinyl paint be the answer. I've seen vinyl paint at places like wal-mart but I don't know if it will hold up against the heat. In the summer it can get over 100 degrees in the shade in arizona and I'm sure even hotter in an enclosed car sitting in the sun. Are there any suggestions to what brand of vinyl paint to use, so that i don't get the same effect with the stickyness and the rubbing off. Maybe even a sealent of some kind.

you just don't get it, we in the eg forum think removing craptastic paint off of panels IS fixing it if you want to paint it again try asking the Appearance / Cosmetic forum

that would be a great idea if the paint thinner didnt melt the plastic panel. Feel free to give it a try though. Some paint thinners are pretty rough and may end up making matters in this situation worse.

thats what happened to me... tried to remove the paint and now all of the pieces are messed up. especially the driver and passenger door handle where the buttons for the windows is at... that part just melted down to pretty much nothing now i have to junk yard it and buy all of them again
so either be really careful or just by new ones

brake fluid will take paint off plastic and will not harm the surface. Its an old hobby trick used for when you wanted to repaint a plastic minature.
Any DOT3 brake fluid is fine, it just takes time and saturation. And then proper drying time.
edit:
its "a plastic minature", not "and plastic minature" I must of been drnuk

Re: (Junkiii Eg)
so have i, aparently we in eg forum have ways to solve many problems through use of experience and technical know how. thanks for dropping some knowledge and the warning on the paint thinner. The brake fluid sounds like a great idea and will keep in mind for future reference, but i'll probably just end up replacing it since i just bought a salvage title for the engine and spare parts. much appreciated though.
