Removing paint from black bits on vtr bodykit
Does anyone know if there is any way of removing paint from the (what should be) black strips on the vt* bodykit? Looking at a car to take to standard and found one but its had bits painted. Any ideas? Cheers

If it's very been painted properly chances are the plastic strips have been sanded down prior to being primed so even if you could get the paint off the strips would be sanded so look a mess so imo you are probably best just sourcing some more off a another car that's being broken

If they have been painted mask them off and scotch them. Apply some upol light texture spray paint followed by some Citroen ae100 semi satin plastic repair paint and it will look standard but never fail like plastic does.
