#75499, "paint on window seals"


          

I got my car back from the paint shop and there are a few spots where they didn't mask the window seals very well and got paint on them. Anyone know how to get it off without ruining my seals? Thanks
Jim

DO NOT use laquer thinner or paint thinner it will damage the rubber/plastic. Ask any body shop and they will you to use reducer. It is basically a super mild thinner without the damaging materials in it. you can get it at any paint supply store and its cheap.

Paint thnner will be fine on that rubber...if it was the outside trim DON't use laquer thinner it will turn it white.. Good Luck
