How do you remove spraypaint after you painted your interior pieces (ie.. woodgrain shit). I don't think you could use paint thinner or nailpolish remover because it would damage the plastic. What's the best way? Any chemicals? Steel Wool? Old Fashioned Sandpaper?

Are your removing overspray or trying to strip them down. If it's just overspray, I found Krud Kutter wipes from Home Depot do a good job.

paint thinner won't hurt the woodgrain pieces if you have a 8g. i've stripped my pieces more than twice.

paint thinner won't damage the woodgrain? I need to take off the spraypaint and make it look stock again. Also, what's overspray?

Nail polish remover is supposed to work real good. Though I wouldnt know because I melted my plastic trim by using aircraft remover. :nono:

The basic ingredient in nail polish remover is acetone. I usually keep some of that around- you can get it at any walmart in the paint aisle.
