Paint Cleaner

Hello,

The four Wheels, Front Bumper, and Rear Bumper of my Tacoma are painted in Black. I don't really like it and I would like to get them back to the original paint which silver or chrome. I asked my friend and he told me that the Paint Cleaner can do the job but he doesn't know well either because he never used it before. Can anyone tell me more information about it? What kind of Paint Cleaner and what kind of equipment do I need to use?

Thanks.

 

Any subjection???

 

If it's plasti-dip, you can peel it off. If someone actually put some effort in with real paint, it's not going to be easy to get off... I'm in the body industry and I've never heard of Paint Cleaner. There's laquer thinner(which will melt plastic), paint stripper for plastic, and paint stripper for metal. To start, I'd grab a gallon of laquer thinner from your local jobber and try it on the rear bumper first. Strong paper towel is fine. Use ultra heavy duty gloves- latex and nitrile won't stand up for long (although nitrile lasts better than latex- speaking from experience) and make sure it's a well ventilated area.
Failing that, I suggest you go see your friendly neighborhood bodyshop and see what they think it is...
