i wouldnt do the nailpolish thing. Im not sure if this is true, but when we bought our 84 Monte SS, there's a spot on the hood where the paint and primer got eaten away and its just bare metal showing(maybe still a coat of primer?) and the owner said it was from nail polish remover. im not sure if that's the truth or not though.

do NOT use a heatgun, or even keep the hair drier over the area too long.

 

:lol: I saw your personal experience with that one on your cardomain site :lol:

 

:lol: luckily that was only plastic, and it DID "buff out" :lol: was pissed as hell when I first did that though. after that I'd be really sketchy about doing something similar to a painted surface.

I wouldn't doubt it.. I'd never let that stuff touch paint.

try with the wd40 first because it's non corrosive, use a credit card to scrape it, DON't use nail polish remover because that is acetone and it will melt the paint right off your car.

Yea I saw that a while ago also. The same thing almost happened to me when I was trying to take off the gold olympic badges on the sides and back of my car. Good thing I thought about it first though :lol:

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. Now I guess I should let everyone know how iit happened. It's kinda stupid, actually. When I was pulling out of my garage I hit the side and tore off my outside mirror (luckilly that was the only damage!). Then I tried to reattach it.

Wha??? I think someone's been watching too much CSI Miami.

Acetone doesn't do crap to enamel.

I think someone ELSE has been watching too much CSI Miami to even KNOW that! :twisted:
