I had a question for removing paint stains that I have on the plastic parts in my EK hatch. I guess the previous owner carried buckets of paint in the back and there are paint stains on the plastic trunk panels, are there any recommendations to remove the paint without damaging the panels? ANy help would be apreciated.

 

somtimes brake cleaner works

 

there is this huge thread about how to remove paint from interior panels(because previous owners painted all the dash vents and stuff) it would help. I will try to find it for you.

i think that might help you out a bit

 

I was looking for that but couldn't find it. There is another good one too.

 

man thats great!!!!!!!!!! I wonder the pieces i will be needing to fix are pretty big IE the back panels..... so i wonder if i can just get a rag and hold it to the panel?

 

In that thread, someone mentioned easy off oven cleaner. I suppose you could tape off all around the plastic and spray down the panels. Make sure it's ventilated though.

 

The brake cleaner will work with most parts because of the toluene which is a great chemical. EXTREMLEY flamible flash point at around 100 degress F so be careful!

 

hmmm so rub down with brake cleaner..... then wash that part off with soap and water??? so my car doesnt burn? sounds good thanks for the tip
