Removing diffuser paint.

[montana]

As above, mine is painted but wondered if there is an easy way to revert back to how it was originally. Either by a) stripping the paint or b) repainting it (colour code?) Cheers

would like to know too actually :blowup:

Well paint thinners would remove the paint id have thought.

As to repainting over it, just lightly sand it and then prime and repaint...

Thanks.
Any idea on what the original colour was/is? Google suggests it is black , they look more of a grey to me though.

Original colour to a 197 diffuser? Its just plastic, not painted.

wouldnt a thinner damage the plastic??you [MENTION=29138]Chris91[/MENTION] saw my front grills..thats what happened after using some unknown chemical on them..

Yeh perhaps, its the only thing I could think of that would remove paint though.

Unless you used a very mild sand blaster, but I still think that would damage it. You could probably get a rear diffuser fro, a scrapyard for £20.
