RUNAMUCK Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Some rocket scientist has painted the vinyl dash of my regal black. I'm off it. The rest of the interior is the factory (poo) brown, and I'd like to keep it that way. So how am I gonna get the black off? I'm real sketched out about putting any solvents on it, since they might fuck/discolour the vinyl. Some of it has come off already, and I've removed a bit more with my fingernail. But that's not going to work for all of it. (plus it's too fucking slow) What am I gunna do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Have been told Prepsol might do the trick...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I might give that a try. I gave it a good going over with that Mr Muscle multi foaming shit, did the whole interior. but it didn't do jack shit to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 i did my door cards with isopropyl alcohol. worked mint, just gotta keep all the pot heads away from ya stash LOL'd But yeah Bart try Isopropyl alcohol. I know a guy who can get it, but you wont need that much. Just go to your local chemist and ask for something to clean the laser of you CD player. That way they wont look at you sideways...

forced Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Vinyl spray is actually coloured PVC in a solvent. So it's not really like paint. Anything that will remove it will also destroy the vinyl under it..... so there's no easy way. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullitt Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Be careful with Prepsol. I used it on a Honda dash and it took all the texture off it. May be ok on some though depending on what theyre made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah, this is good old fashioned Mopar vinyl. I don't think presol will hurt it. The solvent in the spray doesn't appear to have done any harm. I don't think Methylethylketone will do it any good James. It wont only fuck the vinyl, and probably melt the foam under it, but I'd lose a heap of brain cells too. And there arent many left to lose.

Rusty Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hey man deal with this shit quite a bit. can sell 1ltr of isopropylalcohol for $11.81 Methyl ethyl ketone wont do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I scored some prepsol off Filthy one, (Thanks mate! ) And had a crack at getting the stuff off. Some of it did, but fuck me I think the cunt who done it used enamal or some shit, cos it didn't want to come off. Ended up spending two hours with a blade from a craft knife carefully picking away at it. Had to be soooooo careful not to damage the vinyl. Got it all clean, and armor all'd it up. Looks sweet now.
