    Remove spray paint from cladding?

    Sigh, why do people do such things?

    I found a VX that has piqued my interest, but somebody has painted the cladding and wheels flat black. It seems to be very recent and done "half-fast." The chrome is already starting to chip off the wheels and the overspray on the paint can be rubbed off with nothing more than gentle pressure from a finger.

    As described by my spotter who saw it in person - the cladding probably looked pretty decent but someone didn't know how to restore it properly and their "bright idea" made it look like crap. Sounds a bit like a small car dealership is selling it for a friend ("ex-friend"?) and they did a "quick, temporary fix" (rubbed some snake oil) on it to make this little beauty that was only driven to church on Sundays move quickly.

    I found one thread about removing paint from cladding, but it was closed and it didn't go very far.

    Navstar - you asked the question - did you try this or was it (like me) a question for a potential purchase?

    Etlsport - any more insight?
