So I had the 914-6 tub repainted after 42 years of ownership and I am going thru the boxes of parts. As I look at a lot of the aluminum trim for the body, a lot of it has overspray from the first attempt of a repaint by one of the previous owners. Even the door sill plates have a yellow fog on them. What is the best way to remove the overspray without damaging the anodizing or scratching the surface? I’m sure someone has been down this road before.

I had a Honda Prelude I purchased new in 1984. A couple years later it was heavily vandalized with rattle can spray paint, among other more serious things.
The body shop was able to restore the finish by just buffing carefully … the 1st time. The second time it happened, the car required a repaint. The rest of the story’s probably OT … (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I’ve also had good luck in similar situations with Meguire’s #7 and Simichrome polish. |
