paint on rubber trim.!!

[menace]

how do you remove paint from a rubber trim. so close to bringing this car back from the dead just can't get the paint off the trim.

thanks

You can probably replace the trim pretty cheaply... as for removing it, any solvent that'll take the paint off will likely ruin the finish on the rubber.

Rub real hard it'll come off. (usually) paint usually doesn't stick to rubber very well.

A magic eraser would more than likely work.. just do a test area (as with any new product) and do it ever so lightly.



I ended up running out in the middle of a detail this weekend for a magic eraser to remove paint overspray on the exterior kick moldings and wheel wells

Holy cow. If it's latex paint, a lot of elbow grease and an APC may take it off.

i'll try the magic eraser. i tried to scratch off some pieces yesterday when i was looking for parking hoping it would be easier to remove it wasn't really. not sure what kind of paint it is probably latex water base would have probably easier. parked in street and got splashed with paint. i took it from this

to this

you can still see some white paint in the cracks by the tail lights.

Try Valugard's "New Car Prep", it's a safety solvent safe for all surfaces in the car.
