my buddie just got a ek coupe and the interior is painted white what can we use that will work wonders without harming the finish? anyone else buy a riced out car?

 

Acetone (fingernail polish remover) should work as a good solvent

 

Be very very careful when using acetone on plastic stuff, use lightly.

 

have you tried this? I tried bumper paint stripper from auto zone and it gets it kind of but damages the plastic a little

 

is acetone the best to get it off?

 

most things are going to eat the plastic as well as the paint
nature of the beast

yeah. but be carefull because plastic IS a petroleum based product.

 

just goto the body shop and ask them...or find a chemistry major.

 

just sand them down and spray with black plastic spray paint mayb?

 

if you soak the pieces in brake fuild for a while the paint comes off pretty easy.

 

It would probably be easier to just find some used trim pieces used on ebay.

 

would trim paint work?

+1

99% of strippers (if not all) will leave their marks on the plastic

 

im assuming its spray paint. get a spray paint remover, i got this stuff from home depot. its called "spray paint remover" but it worked good on my car. didnt leave marks or anything

If it's the same stuff as "goof off", I wouldn't use it on plastic...

also dissolves plastic. That might even make napalm, I know it does with styrofoam.

 

I used oven cleaner, got the tip from my friend who does interiors. It worked very well. Too bad the POS that had the car before me sanded the parts(with what looks like 60 or 80 grit with as rough& deep as the scratches are) to make the primer/paint stick better

yes you are correct... but if you dont dunk it in and leave it there for a long period of time, it works well.

we did it to my friends vents. dab some on a cloth or something and rub it onto the painted part... then clean it off w/ water immediately.

 

Gas is expensive these days tho! Why waste a tub for dunking?

 

don't lie adam....you've given me every excuse on this list...you and enrique are Ricers hahah

 

non acetone nail polish removers will do the trick. acetone eats plastic

 

acetone is powerful and dangerous stuff if not used correctly

u can clean something really good ... or burn right through it

you can ghet high off acentone too.

 

eBay interiors get that stuff right off.

The time you spend getting that retarded crap off you could have replaced the interior. (and been more satisfied with the results)
