techboy Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) If you saw my post a few weeks ago in the B.S. section some of you noticed that whoever had the car before me started painting the maroon interior tan w/ what I believe was just rattle can paint. I'm trying to restore the car to the original maroon. Anybody know of any tricks/solvents/whatever for removing paint? (esp. the fabric peices) I've repainted some of the plastic stuff black, and replaced some other things w/ maroon, it's starting to look much better, but I don't want to get 2 coats of paint on everything if there's a way to remove it. I can sand it lighty with 220-400 sandpaper and it comes right off, but it doesn't come out of the textured grooves of the fabric unfortunately. Thought I'd ask in case someone else dealt with this before. Edited August 30, 2010 by techboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberquest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 i would just seek out some replacement peices, chances are there is TONS of maroon laying around cause its not a real propular color. around here we pay for people to take it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah, find some new pieces. Most of the solvents you will use to strip the paint will also melt the plastic pieces, and destroy your fabrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) around here we pay for people to take it away Lol ... yeah, I've been able to track down many of the parts already. I have to be honest though, other than StarquestJoe I haven't come across anyone yet whose paid me to take away their maroon parts. I've been shelling out quite a bit over the last month. It's coming along though. I'll have to post up some before and after pics of the interior. Edited August 30, 2010 by techboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
