JohnnyW Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 After a bit of advice, I recently got my car's colour changed from red to black but on the exhaust there is some red overspray from whatever monkey did an accident repair on the car. I really like the backbox on the car so was wanting to keep it. I was wondering what the best way to remove the red overspray would be. I was thinking some very fine wet & dry paper and rub it down but thought some of you may have some better suggestions. Here's a piccy to show the problem area: http://www.jwwebdev.co.uk/Supra/Respray/17.jpg Cheers Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 some autosol and a lot of rubbing will get it off or rub a small amount of thinners on there, then buff up with autosol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fish Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 wouldn't white spirit or paint stripper get that off? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yep paint stripper would do the job followed by a metal polish to restore shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Would these work on the protective tray for the fuel tank as I have overspray too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyW Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 An update on this, had a go at it this morning with white spirit but didn't have any affect so brought out the big guns aka Nitromors:eyebrows: What a difference got all the paint off in about 2 minutes then cleaned it thoroughly. Still to polish it up but it's still mega shiny Here's the pics Before Nitromors: http://www.jwwebdev.co.uk/Supra/Respray/17.jpg After Nitromors: http://www.jwwebdev.co.uk/Supra/Exhaust.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
