Um, if you have some sandpaper, sand it down, fast. Otherwise, try to wash it of if it's water based. You could pour some brake fluid (something like that) or plastic remover to remove the paint but that will melt you Xmods in the process.

yea you can use grill cleaner too and spray it on there and leave the foam on it for 12 hrs or more then wash it off.

ok, well, never use the paint you used again, throw it away. this could be an easy fix, but it will take time, i have been there before. first, go to advance auto parts and pick out some automotive tough up paint, comes in half and full sizes, and get some filler primer, sand the car, completely so you have a nice smooth looking surface, then wash it off with cold water, dry it completely, then spray some pimer on it. it is filler primer so dont touch it or mess with it. if it looks bad at first, it wont later, after it dries (for at least 24 hours) sand off any primer that isnt where its supposed to be, then wash it again, dry it and put a light coat of ur touch up paint on it, if it doesnt completely cover it, dont worry, its only ur first coat. let it dry for at least another 24 hours, and then put another coat on it, let it dry, and then wet sand (sand it under running water) off any carcks, wrinkles, etc. after you do that, put another coat on it, and it should look good as new. but dont use regular spray paint, it you are using rattle cans, use automotive touch up paint, and ull get something like this.

If i were you i would just pour paint stripper over the whole thing and start over, and at least use a spray paint can and do a little sanding before hand.

Depending on how think your first coat was you could just prime over it and repaint on top of the primer problem is if you first attempt was really thick then you going to loose all of the cars detail.

I say wet sand it done to the original plastic then start painting again.

Easy off oven cleaner works great to remove paint.Just don't leave it on to long over night is long enough.

[civicblack10]

Well it all depends on how strong your paint stripper is, In my case its not that strong so i just used it straight up. If its stronger just use water and dilute it a little bit.

Agreed.

And follow this tutorial on BriansModelCars or this tutorial by our friends at ParrisGraphics. They'll help you if you're not exactly sure on how to lay a perfect layer of paint. I even still reread it every time before I do any painting.

thx for all the help...oh ya ub3r 1337 tomorow is the last day of school

a good way to get paint off is semi-soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and just rub it over for like ten seconds hard on each small squre inch and it sould come off, do not soak it though,it will eat through plastic...trust me, also every little while rinse it off in cold water dry it then keep rubbing, the water is to dilute any acid that make be slowly and secretly eating through something out of sight
