Any suggestions on how to save it or am I just screwed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ?
  Well it looks like crap but better than painted over. |

I used Acetone on Q-tips & carefully eased & worked it off gently, to get off 4 over sprays. It works but takes time & patience, and you may need to touch up some of the black painted areas with matte black paint it you go too far.
I wouldn't use masking tape without first scoring the edge of the plate, since the acetone could wick up under the tape & onto the paint you don't want to remove. Go slow & gently & acetone will work. Also leave a few minutes for the paint to bubble up after your first wetting. Keep the Q-tips relative dryish with acetone, as you do not want any running! |
