Idiot of the day/month/year!

i pressure washed with somewhat hot water some of it came off, not everything though.

 

good advice.

but, ever been in a situation where "a little" elbow grease wasn't, in reality, actually a very large amount (whole afternoon) of fucking elbow grease.

 

I'm glad I joined TW, makes me fill better!

 

All that plastic trim on the bumper is cheap, wait till you spill paint on it the next time and get it changed!

 

Around $220

 

There's your answer. Trade her in

 

@Casper66 did this too

 

I'd try CitrusStrip for a less invasive chemical approach. As always, test a small area first.

 

did this with oil based paint what a disaster that was! preasure wsh off everything you can then wipe down the area with some reducer and dust it with some satin black spray paint. looks good as new. with it being latex you may want to try a little brake clean on it that usually gets rid of latex. the manager of the detail shop at the dealership told me with the beds being composite solvents will turn it gray sso you'll end up spraying with a little paint anyway

 

Mike Wolfe of American Pickers would call it "patina" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patina and shows that it has been used. May increase its value as well.

Makes a great campfire/bar story.

 

I agree with @Ahshiet . Recently ran through a 5 gallon bucket of paint spilled on the road. It was alllll over the black plastic trim and wheel wells. WD40 and a microfiber and it rubbed right off. Also, the wife ran through new road paint. It was in the same places on her car. Same WD40 and microfiber and a little elbow grease got that off too.

Agree!

 

That shit should buff out... acetone for the win (test small area first).

If you need a new one I have plate bumper and that piece is still in my garage. Make me an offer.

 

I'd try a Mr. Clean magic eraser on the bumper..

 

Thank you everyone!!! Out to the store for goodies...

 

Not unless you want a crappy finish that is very obvious.

 

Pics when you're done

 

I'd try removing the bumper, then removing the painted plastics so you have them separated.

I'd try paint solvent on the raw plastic. It wont damage it since it's just plastic and not painted.
That's why I'd remove the bumper. Just in case you spill some all over the place like you allready did.... LOL
Sorry...that's not funny.

But yeah...that's my idea.

on the painted parts, I'd try buffing.

 

Wear your rubber Tights to the local toyota dealership. They'll laugh so hard they'll give you a great deal on a 2017

 

Im thinking the same thing, remove the plastic black top and paint it. If it was me I would probably paint it that spray bedliner just to make it look a little more aggressive, but that's me.
