Somewhere last night I posted on a thread...and I can't find the thread now.
It was about paint damage by a hired painter...who was taping and painting a B.I.N. (lacquer-based) base paint...and he goofed BIG TIME.

Then he splattered the B.I.N. all over stuff......and he's GONE! I'm trying to remove his mistakes...

Lacquer based paint can be removed from metal surfaces safely with lacquer thinner on a rag.Soften it with a liberally soaked rag and then do a wipe-off with another with a little less solvent.As long as you don't use any kind of abrasive,it should not harm the anodizing.Do not do this in an unventilated area!
