just get some laquer thinner and rub it off. The paint should come off with no big issue

 

yea that krylon stuff was for plastic, thats why i figure it would be okay. I didnt realize how thin the shit was. Wouldnt lacquer thinner melt the plastic?

 

No, just don't use a ton of it. Use little dabs and dry it off. I think that's what Mulder had to do to s2000shifter's diffusers. Ask him before you do it because I'm not 100% positive.

 

No its not strong enough to melt the plastic. you use it in small amounts. If you are really afraid of thinner melting the plastic thin you can try using some qwik prep or first clean. They are made by Dupont and you use them when preping a car for paint. They clean but are not as strong as lacquer thinner but they might not have enough ass to peal up the paint.

 

DO NOT CUT CORNERS!


I saw a set of diffusers that a guy in the Florida forums was trying to pass off as one of mine. He had opted to paint a different part of the diffuser which looked wierd.... like I had warned... then he didn't use the paints I had chosen but others including a GLOSS black..... needless to say, I don't think they ever went into the headlights before he realized his mistake.

Is it possible to use the dremel tool to do the sanding? Just picked up a cordless dremel tool and very interested in trying it out.

Thanks

Eric

 

no

just use some paper and do it by hand

 

I agree. You will end up:

A. melting the plastic

or

B. over sanding, causing loss of detail and possibly uneven surfaces


All you want to do is score the surface slightly so that it will hold the base coat, anything more than that and you are ruining them.


Don't be lazy guys.... and don't cut corners. If anyone doesn't want to put the time and work into them to do them right, send them to me and I will do them for you.... for a fee ofcourse

 

The advantage of doing this during the summer was siting on my porch with a drink and cigar and sanding my diffusers in the sunshine. Taking my time and doing it right was hardly a burden

As with Mulder, do it once, do it right!
