Spray paint on the Gator

[snopro]

Hi Guys, hope you can bail me out. Long story short, one of my kids got some red spray paint on Grandpa's Gator. It is a Ltd Edition model all black and brushed aluminum with the carbon fibre looking finish on the dash. That is where the paint is. How do I get it off without ruining the finish so their Grandpa doesn't find out? Thanks!

Brakecleen if its fresh.
Otherwise no ideas lol. Maybe a good hand cleaner would work also

Tried BrakeKleen and WD40 and no luck. It was on there for a couple days before I saw it.

Non- chlorinated Brake Clean. Will
Eat the plastic if not whiped off fast enough.

Can you use a razor blade scraper and carefully remove it. Then use action orange hand cleaner..

Possibly try SOS pads. And lots of water them a wax after might do it.

You might try a product called "goof off" ..... It took spray paint off the tailgate of one of my old trucks(kids spray bombed all the vehicles on our street years ago). Used a good clean razor blade first, then goof off and then use wd40, followed by a good polishing job

Try some clay pucks, check with a detail or body shop. Not 100% sure on the excat name but it work on overspary from a guy spraying his fence that drifted to his nieghbors truck.

Just tried using it to take some glue/silicon off the plastic headlights on the quad and it etched the snot out of em, was going to use it to clean up the ridges on the quad box before putting weather strip on and its started to melt at that a bit too. Used brake kleen instead.

Don't matter how old you are, I guess it's just human nature to hide sh!t from the old man. lol. You're best bet would be to use a chunk of plastic...about 2"x3", they come in different varities...some say Visa, some say Mastercard....either one will work very well for your application.
