Topic: paint on a convertible top?

[Camster]

Looks like my body shop got a droplet of paint on my black top when they painted the quarter panel and wiped off most of it.Suggestions for removing the rest(maybe using a hand brush,very light scrape with a razor blade?)something that would abrade the material?chemical?Thanks.

I had the same problem with a VW beetle convertible and I used a plastic scraper to take it off. It took me many hours but the final result was very good. There is probably a better solution but if you have time to loose and don't get better help than mine, this will work.

i have found you can take paint thinner and water it down. i use a gallon of water and about 1/4 a cup of paint thinner it didnt not eat the top nor fade it out. it took akot of elbow grease to get it out but it did work great. Also u can contact any auto paniters and they have a cleaner they use to get it off, If you call yours and they dont have it let me know and ill get the name of for you and if i can get my hands on some i can try and shipping you some it.

Good that the plastic scrapper idea worked for you. I was not really in for the paint thinner idea, coz u really have to very cautious otherwise you can jus make a patch out of the whole thing and it wud look really bad. You have to be real good at using it...

is the top vinyl or cloth, id try soap and water and a wash rag or a stiff tooth brush first
