Hey guys, I just got my truck back from the body shop. I noticed some primer overspray on the fog light lens and surrounding non-painted plastic trim. Any ideas on how do remove the primer without damaging the paint and lens? Thanks guys!

I'd try polishing compound and a light touch.

Ryan you could always let them finish their job.....:yes:

 

[normie]

how bad is it? if not too bad, compound (but may leave white residue if they are black ABS)

If bad, hand it back to em and let them do it..

It's not too bad, but I think the surround is ABS plastic.

Go to your local auto parts or paint supply store and ask for a clay bar. It takes the over spray off. It looks like a bar of play doh buit it really does work. I just clay barred a a black car that had heavy powder coating over spray on it and it worked great. Mothers makes it or clay magic. If you have any questions on how to do it shoot me a pm or give me a call here at the office.

Hi Dennis, thanks for the info. I'll shoot you a PM when I can get a picture posted up. I'm not so sure it will work in the area.

I'd ask the auto body shop to do it too. My father never would have let a car leave his shop that way.

Keep in mind that I had it done at Maaco. The form of the trim around the fog light won't allow me to rub anything in there. It's like a phoney honey comb texture. It's on the lens too though. Here's a picture for reference.

Ahh that explains it then.

Yeah, I had my El Camino painted with them too. They treated me good and the price was good.
