        You can buy some paint stripper from Lowes or Home Depot for around $8 or so man.

            Re: question

            im talking about door panels too so would i just have to wipe it down with the stripper or put the stripper in a tub and soak the panels in it?

              Goo off isn't going to take it off if it was properly applied. With paint remover, you will normally spread it around the paint and let it sit for a while, (wide time channel depending on the circumstances) then remove it, and the paint will come with it.

                yep just becareful, the stripper might eat/pit the plastic interior peices if its left on too long.

                ask me how i know.

                  Acetone will do the job.

                      use laquer thinner.. you can get it at autozone. it wont hurt the plastic, I wouldnt use a stripper. it might eat the plastic. its been known to do it, but some brands done.

                        Just put some on a rag and wipe off the spray paint. Don’t rub the area too long, but it does evaporate quickly. After just put some water on a different rag and make sure you wipe off the area for good measures. 30 seconds max for everything and you are done. :tup: Tip: Dont pour acetone on your car!
