Skid Plate --- I Cheated!!!!

[transio]

The cladding required a good scrubbing with Laquer Thinner to remove all the shining products...

Quick question... I'm looking for a product that will remove products but not dissolve or discolor the cladding. Does Lacquer Thinner affect the plastic at all?

Thanks!

Yes it does... it will fade it. I don't recommend it.
You may try Castrol SuperClean (purple)... it does pretty well.

I can't say this from experience, but I've heard from more than a few others, that Simple Green works well...then maybe a "once over" with rubbing alcohol.
Looks good Silver Bullet, I've done similar front & rear, but since the fall Badlands meet it needs some touch up...oh well.
Gotta love dem "silver paint mods"

Denatured alcohol, you can get it at home depot cheap, it is safe for all plastics and paint but it will remove wax.

I took another plunge today.
Did the painted on skid plate mod.
Thanks to SilverBullet75 for posting what he did.
I didn't take it as high, I was a little scared to go all the way.

The sun was behind the VX which made the front look darker than what it really is. I'll take a better pic.
This time I used silver Fusion paint for plastic. Then went over it with high temp aluminum paint to give it the bling. Note, I had already painted my cladding so little prep involved.
The tow hook is going back black.

Wow, the black looks real good. Got me thinking about other colors!
Like Red on my black vx.
