Got scuffs? Easy job to remove
the damage usually, but be
sure you get paid for it!
Now a scuff
is usually a simple transfer
of paint, on top of your original
paint> Occasionally, the
scuff is branded on so hard,
that it is very difficult
to remove, so you may need
to repeat this process or
be patient, but usually the
transfer will come off in
seconds.
Also, you do run the risk
that there might be scratched
or removed paint from underneath
the scuff..so when you remove
the transfer, if that is the
case, painting or paint touch
might be your only solution.
Step one:
Don some gloves, and get out
your laquer thinner (paint
thinner is too weak so dont
use it)
Step two:
with a clean white terry cloth,
wipe the thinner on top of
the transfer. If it comes
of nicely, repeat until done,
then apply a wax, as thinner
removes oils and the painted
area will look dull when you
are done.
Step three:
if it does NOT come off easily,
rub vigorously with the thinner.
You may find some transfers
very stubborn, but be patient.
You may wear thru a pair of
gloves, but the transfer will
eventually come off, and there
isnt really a better chemical
other than thinner..
Good luck!
