Does anyone have a tested method for removing paint from the fresh air inlet box? Ours had quite a bit of overspray on it. I tried:
* Acetone (had done great on everything else) * Goo-gone * Goof-off graffiti Ultimately made it way worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I must have been very embarrassed by the result, as I didn't even take a picture. I'm not sure what this box is made of that is making this so problematic. Thanks. |

Closing this out in case it might help someone else.
We also tried lacquer thinner, isopropyl alcohol. Just wasn't helping things. As a couple folks suggested, we ended up painting it. Used this flat black Krylon Fusion all-in-one paint and primer that says it will adhere to plastic. Initial results was a pretty good match. We'll see how well it wears. Thanks for the suggestions.  |
