    Re: Removing burnt plastic from paint

    Single stage..original so most likely laquer
    And I ment like blotting it
    But I'd imagine could just get it hot enough and blot away by itsself

    Re: Removing burnt plastic from paint

    Your in a jam with that single stage,I was gonna recommend a solution to your promblem but maybe it will do more harm than good.Try some mineral spirits in a inconspicuous area to make sure there is no heavey paint transfer from the ms.or stick to heat and a plastic blade and chip your way at it.It should more than likely release itself from the paint good luck and see where it gets you.

    I wouldn't use acetone or lacquer thinner,it,will wipe your paint away real quick.Thats why I asked you from the start about the paint .If it was base and clear then I would suggest lac or acetone.
