paint removal? need help/advise

[evolutionvalet]

Guys,



We have a large job on our hands that has left us scratching our heads.



We have 43 cars to decontaminate. A Painter has been spraying some shipping containers with white machine enamel paint and has left a dusting of paint on a large number of vehicles.

Now, we are half way through clay blocking the paint but have come up with a problem. The window rubbers and plastic trims are also coated and we have tried everything we have to remove the overspray on these areas. Due to the dimpled effect, the paint has sunk and harden onto the plastci and also sunk into the porous rubber.

Has anyone got any ideas as to a product or technique to help us remove this paint.

The painters supplier suggested paint remover!!!!! but I dont think I will try that as there are some big dollar cars affected.



If anyone can help, then please reply or send us an email.





Many thanks

Have you tried any body shop products like Prep-Sol or maybe some Laquer Thinner?

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with a Wax free QD. I have had some sucess getting trafic paint off trim with that combo. You could try a solvent on the trim, but it might discolor it.

Cheers guys,



I have tried Prep - sol. But doesnt really do much. The paint is machine enamel and it seems to dry much harder than conventional paint we have come across before.



zippymbr- where would I get a Mr Clean Eraser from? We are based in the UK. Is it something a bodyshop would have?



Many thanks

I get mine at Walmart. But most home centers have them.
