Anyone have a suggestion on what cleaner to use to remove black spray bomb paint from a firewall? Don’t want to disturb factory markings. Thanks

I used enamel reducer and paper towels to remove the rattle can paint...
Soak the paper towels in enamelreducer and spread over the area... allow it to penetrate then wipe off using paper towels and "chip" brushes. IT is tedious nasty work.

Ok here is one of my secrets I have been using since cleaning carbon deposits off of floor boards from rich jets and open headers on the Black RS/Z survivor. AND it is made for removing BAKED ON GREASE.
HD EASY OFF oven cleaner - FWIW The WEAKER fume free version is useless.

Something with even more toxic fumes that has saved me countless hours on a current cleaning and preservation project, Aluminum Brightener from NAPA. Removes grime like nothing else I've found but doesn't harm factory paint or EDP on underhood metal and firewall blackout. Spray, wipe it off, neutralize with water, and follow with wax. Also spectacular results on phosphate and zinc stuff (horn relay cover, ash tray) and of course aluminum (alternator, a/c lines). |

Granted not firewall but I’d use the same steps on it as well.
Zep citrus degreaser, blue scotchbrite pad, micro fiber towels, #7, & Mirror Bright Rubber & Vinyl. Oh and insert evaporust before #7 & Mirror. |
