Water is your friend!

Gotta repaint it

Was that with a Rotary?

Yeah, paint was only two days old though.
Should have left it longer!

Oh geez. i bet the laquet hadn't even hardened! This is a dual action Polisher though, not a rotary. So the chances of the paint burning are next to nothing, they just don't generate enough heat. Just got to be cautious about the amount of paint I strip off as I haven't got a gauge to measure it. VW paint is pretty tough though

Cheers mate. I used Halfords flexi red plastic paint, grey plastic primer and satin black. And plasti-coat satin laquer.

Yeh mate we may be able to work something out
