    laquer thinner works good. Just be sure to wax it if you dont want it to dry out the clear coat.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    DO NOT use lacquer thinner it will thin your paint. Use Goo Gone or something like that. Lacquer thinner will thin automotive paint it eats your clear coat just as fast as the adhesive.

    Yeah thinner is some nasty stuff. Back when I detailed cars a house painter got over spray on a bunch of cars. He cleaned all the cars with thinner to get the paint off and fucked every one. I cost him somewhere around 25,000 to have all the cars repainted there was nothing I could do the clear coat was gone.

    Did you do the color matching yourself? If so, what paint did you get, it looks like its a perfect match, if not, super close. Looks great!

    I picked up Duplicolor paint from Advance Auto. It all matched until I sprayed the clear coat and it yellowed on me :eek: so next weekend it will come off and I will start over. Not sure why it did what it did but I will be spraying a different clear next time.

    It's an 89 Toyota Pickup. I got some stuff done to it.. FJ axles going under it soon.
    Goo Gone FTW!!!


    I took my legal airbag warning stickers off my visors and thought I'd try Goo Gone to get all the residue off..wasn't sure if it'd hurt the fabric but it didn't and now they look factory with nothing left to show there was a sticker on there.. ;)



    Hope the popo isn't knocking on my door :spy:
