Removing Paint On Gill - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969C/10 · 09-30-2006, 06:10 PM

The PO of my truck painted the "CHEVROLET" on the grill to match the color of the truck and it looks like crap (I think he used a paint brush

). I want to remove the paint and I know the paint is a poly. What will remove this paint without damaging the grille? Paint thiner? Thanks.

MOST ANY HARDWARE OR AUTO PARTS STORE. EVEN WAL-MART HAS IT IN THEIR PAINT SECTION. IT'S GEAT STUFF..

John - Will that stripper harm the anodized aluminum?

You can always mask and cut if there`s concern about the anodizing.But,like John said,shouldn`t hurt it.

I think that it looks pretty slick to have letters painted to match the truck. Are you going to put them back painted right?

1969C/10 · 10-01-2006, 01:20 PM

Not right now. I agree that it looks pretty cool when the letters are painted to match, but this was executed very poorly.
