Paint off stainless exhaust

[Razza]

Just switched my stainless scorpion exhaust from my old red E30 to my new black one and noticed that the numpty in the bodyshop has blasted a section of the exhaust in red paint when he did the rear valance a couple of years ago.

Turps, a scrubbing brush and some elbow grease or will that feck up the finish.

Also whats best to buff up a stainless steel exhaust - brasso ?

id use thinners, brasso is good for buffing up stainless

Nail polish remover / acetone is great for removing all kinds of stuff. Supermarkets sell stuff called Bar Keepers friend (or something similar - it's a vaguely dalek - shaped blue bottle) which is brilliant for chrome.

I'd have thought that now the paint's dry, it wouldn't dissolve in thinners.

Give it a go with some original T-Cut on a rag. It's mildly abrasive so it should remove the paint easily if it's only some overspray, and it'll give the stainless a nice shine up too

autosol metal polish will break down the paint

thinner will remove the paint or any paint stripper. tar remover work's will as well , jetwash does a good job 2
