over spray on fan shroud

[rsorg]

hi, i have a little paint from over spray on my original fan shroud ,what would be the perfect way of removing this with out ruining the shroud thanks

Roger, as I’m sure you know,  the problem is that it’s a plastic shroud, good chance thinner will melt that and leave streaks.   I’d start with thinner or acetone on a microfiber, that way there won’t be lint imbedded into the shroud if it starts to melt it.  Obviously start in a spot you can’t see so you can test it out. 
I would almost say you may have to sand and paint the shroud again to cover it.  
sorry I’m not better help here.

you can try formula 88 degreaser and let it sit. if you shroud is unpainted you can try lacquer thinner first acetone second. because it drys fast tou will be ok.

I used lacquer thinner on mine  and like imr said it dissipates quickly  so should not be a problem. What kind of paint is it? If base coat enamel reducer will take it off or the lacquer thinner. Brake cleaner or carb cleaner might even work they also dissipates quickly.
