Body shop did a great job masking the tires http://www.chevelles.com/forum/rolleyes.gif protected the front but not the back.

How do I get the paint off? tried scrubbing, westly's bleach white, paint thinner, acetone. . . . . http://www.chevelles.com/forum/mad.gif

Do you just paint them black? http://www.chevelles.com/forum/confused.gif

brake fluid should work great, just dont get it on any painted surfaces. wash your tires with water afterwards.

I used carb cleaner (it was handy).

I know brake fluid will work also, as mentioned. It sure took the paint off my stock air cleaner lid where I spilled some. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif

Scrub with simple green or 409 using a Scotch brite pad- don't scrub too hard. Should come off pretty quick with the scotchbrite.

Also works good to restore RWL...
