Overspray Removal - Honda Prelude Forum

SlowSi · 08-04-2005, 01:51 PM

I have some overspray on my front bumper on the middle plastic section (part that isn't painted) on my 5th gen. I've tried nail polish remover and that didn't help. What else can I try/do to get rid of it.

Thanks for advice!

maybe try a mild compound or a clay bar

I've tried Goo Gone when I got overspray on my windows, and it worked very well.

use diluted paint thinner on a rag, wash it off very well right after

I'll try the paint thinner. Thanks!

try it in the back of the grill first. it might melt the plastic.

Use a clay bar to remove overspray.

^^ Even on ABS plastic?

I haven't tried it, but I don't think there'll be any problems. Just watch out for rubber moldings though.

Clay bar + a lot of clay lube should work fine

Just a precaution about using lots of clay lube - if you find yourself not removing anything, then ease up on the lube

heh, yeah. the only reason I said that is because clay is pretty difficult to use on unpainted plastic because of the friction, hence the lube. But yeah, too much isn't gonna help either

Ah I didn't mean to direct it to you, just a friendly reminder for whoever goes in that direction. But yes, you're right about the plastic~

ludehawk · 09-19-2005, 05:20 PM

and ya, you can use the claybar on abs plastics

i used diluted mineral spirit and some turtlewax polishing compound. buffed it out. sprayed and soaped and wiped clean. worked well for me, been 2 years now.

but yea it's a little dangerous on ur paint.
