How to remove "factory paint"
I am trying to remove the factory 'charcoal gray' paint on the rims of the Fujimi Gallardo MY05. I have soaked the parts in bleach white, which removed the chrome plating on the rear of the rims. I have also had the parts soaking in brake fluid to no avail. Any suggestions on how to remove this paint will be appreciated.

91% Isopropyl alcohol will remove about anything you can come up with.

Re: How to remove "factory paint"
Are you sure it's not molded in colored plastic? I'm 99.99% sure that soaking would've taken off any paint.

first rule of thumb, "check if its plugged in" they could be in grey plastic, you never know... |

Well try to scrape off some paint with a knife. If all you get is same colored plastic shavings...there you go.

Re: How to remove "factory paint"
After letting the parts sit in the brake fluid about 18 hours it finally removed the paint. Another quick dip, maybe one hour in bleach white took care of the remainder of the chrome plating. Thanks for the advise.
