So I bought my car last month and the previous owner had gotten the $200 paint job a year ago. It looks pretty good, my only complaint is that their is a lot of overspray. There was a lot of white paint on the lights and reflectors and I managed to chip that all off, now I need to know how to get the paint off of the rubber trim.
What do you guys suggest I use to remove white paint from the rubber around my sunroof, windows, door trim, and the tire well?

 

One thing you can use is Steel Wool, #0000. I use it for many different applications. Cleaning your winshield. Cleaning glass prior to tint. Make sure you get the #0000. Add a little water, and wahlla, the paint will start coming up.

3M makes sanding pads, similiar to the old Scotch-brites. The gray pads are fine, the maroon ones are meduim, and can be found at the local automotive paint supplier.

Mask off the paint and sand away. If you are extremely careful, you can dampen the pad with lacquer thinner. Do not get it on the paint. When your done, dress the rubber with Back to Black.
