I bought a car with the interior painted and i want it back to stock without buying new parts(such as dash and door handles)...my first question is how do i get the paint off?and 2nd Will it ruin the stock color? or do they make a color that i can repaint them and it will look like stock????????PLEASE HELP......

LOL - sorry but the title is funny, but good to hear you trying, best shot is to bring it to a place in your area that does custom interior work, is the dash itself painted? i would think that would NOT be able to remove the paint without somewhat discoloring the plastic original color - i may be wrong

 

no just the a/c vents and stuff like that...i wanna do it myself for CHEAP...not having to spend a bundle...i bought the car riced out

 

god, i hate idiots that do that kind of crap (paint the vents)

its painted yellow huh? (to make it faster!!!!!!!)

stupid riceboys. well, id try thinkin like em. if it was a riceboy it was prolly some cheap *** paint. get out some nail polish remover and soak a cotton ball in it and try wiping some off, slowly but surely.

P.S. i am not responsible if this screws it up

 

or, just take them off and paint them black or grey, or whatever to match the rest of the interior.

 

fawk naw!!! dont use any harsh solvents. it will destroy the original plastic. it will turn it into this f-ed up grey color....just hit the junk yard on a mission.

i say use solvents first and if the plasitc discolors then go to a salvage yard

 

i say head up to your local junk yard and just get replacement parts.

 

how about buying a integra interior conversion hhaaa....or a custom carbon fiber one.....now thats money....

 

just repaint it. if the dash is paint then use aircraft paint remover. its strong so do let it settle in the dash and the dash is the only place you can use it on, if put that stuff on the vents it will eat it away.

 

I agree take a trip to the junk yard save yourself the time and trouble, They shouldnt cost much.

 

If you can find a junkyard you wouldn't have to worry about fading or ruining the color of the vents.

 

junkyard is probably the easiest solution, and it should be cheap enough to justify not having to inhale fumes from any paint removers.

 

Junkyard, you won't get that stuff off...I tried on my car....not successful by a long shot, and repainting looks just as shitty
