wallaby Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Is the overspray somewhat fresh, or old? mineral spirits work well with a rag to remove recent paint. Mineral spirits also make a good solvent for parts cleaning. If its old paint, the mineral spirits might have a tough time with it. Lacquer thinner is stronger stuff that might work, but it tends to dissolve everything it comes in contact with...like plastics. The good news it that the fan shroud wasn't painted, so scrubbing won't reveal anything you wouldn't see anyway...unless someone in the past painted it and that makes your job tougher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 What was it painted with, rattle can Rustoleum or base/clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imr Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Xylene will work, slow dry so you can work with it. Acetone or lacquer thinner will work, i have used it all to clean plastic and rubber, just dont soak it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
