Searched on google and some other places and have found mixed reviews and techniques. I have a 02 silver civic that has the gayest hand painted on blue and gray pinstripe down the side of it. Ive heard wetsanding then cut and buffing it. Ive seen people use paint thinner and a sponge or rubbing compound and a rag or a dremel and polishing tips which i tried today and didnt work the slightest bit.
Its above the clear coat and today ive managed to remove the entire drivers side and trunk of it.I used a simple rag/ rubbing alcohol and some elbow grease and it came off decently easy.
But the passenger side refuses to come off no matter what I do. I tried using paint thinner and a rag, rubbing compound and a rag, dremel and polishing tip etc. I scraped some of it off very carefully with a razor blade but it would take hours up hours and wouldn’t completely come off. The paint seems a little bit thicker on that side but I got a small area off with a sponge and some rubbing alcohol but not its starting to scuff my clear coat.
any tips or tricks on which I havent stumbled upon yet that are relatively paint friendly?
any insight would be appreciated. and lets keep the asshatery to a minimum in this thread because im sick of simple threads going to shit over nothing.
