CHESTNUTXE 7,259 Posted March 14, 2017 A lot of times people paint a consul to match their old or broken one,in this case its black over blue,althou not a show stopping piece good chance to see what type of clean up i can do on it,so far the pressure washer only took a bit off,then killer degreaser and gernie,then paint stripper ,that didnt do much really altho i didnt leave it long on there not to kill the plastic,so im about to try some thinners and see if that will work a bit better ,at the end of the day if all else fails ol' m8 at the paint shop can match up another can of blue acrylic .

CHESTNUTXE 7,259 Posted March 15, 2017 well that worked,i only had about 2 litres left in the can and that only lasted about 2 mins but got it off quick smart and in the grooves as well,strong degreaser should be able to do the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VDO 124 Posted March 16, 2017 Just give it a soak in some caustic for a day or so. No scrubbing, no nothing. And a super clean result. Simples..! 3 stockesp, scottly and bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
