BigStew Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Bend offered a plastic TM slide for a project problem is its ex two tone with still green tints here and there. Other than painting it is there anything that will get it back to black?
Cr0-Magnon Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Sounds strange but brake fluid worked a treat for me and didn't damage the plastic. Obviously remove all the bits first.
hitmanNo2 Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I've had good results with leaving stuff submersed in Dettol for 24/48 hours.

Other than painting it is there anything that will get it back to black? Totally depends what it's been painted with and how well the surface was prepped beforehand. I've seen two tone jobs that'll come off with harsh language, chances are a bit of rubbing alcohol/surgical spirit/window cleaner (I shit you not) will probably get it off if it's just remnants of Krylon.

Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 I always use NON-acetone nail varnish remover now, works brilliantly and smells great ?
