In the states, we have a product called Easy-Off Oven Cleaner. I've used it to remove grafiitti and painted lettering from cars without damaging the underlying paint. I use it to remove the paint from plastic models too.

 

Thanks, I will try and get good of it

Id use cutting compound and elbow grease.
Should get through primer easy enough.
May take longer but less risk to the paint.

Last time i used oven cleaner on my car was to clean the turbo out.

Using it on og paint? Are you sure?

 

I once scrubbed primer graffiti (and the whole bus) with thinners, it came up lovely. Might have been 2 pac paint under though. Also used thinners to remove newer paint on a bus roof - it did dull the og paint under but didn't wash it off.

Oven cleaner is remarkably useful, excellent to clean up seat vinyl, remove oil and sludge in engine bay etc. Iuser it on my firewall and steel panels in engine bay roof with zero damage to the underlying og paint so I'd give that a go first. Then thinners. Sanding would be bottom of my list as a last resort when all else failed.

 

Oven cleaner is great for degreasing an oily engine bay and hasn't done any damage to the OG paint in my experience....but that wasn't what you asked

Maybe some sort of solvent could work well. Something a little stronger than white spirit, but not paint stripper. Check our your wife's nail varnish remover :wink:

Oven cleaner.........Any type or the generic Mr Muscle type aeresol stuff? Cheers!

Acetone will do the job, make sure you use proper gloves otherwise your skin will fall off also!

I've used with scotchbrite or 0000 wirewool.

Long process, but worth the effort.

Yes, Mr Muscle type, not some eco version.

 

Hi all,

Thought I would update here. In the end I used Graffiti remover. Slow but very controlled process
