The person who owned my car in the past hydro dipped the interior with fake carbon fiber and I absoluted hated, how that I had the time and patience I removed the old stuff and re-painted.
I`m very pleased with the outcome and if in the future I get tired of it, I can simply re-spray.
For those thinking about doing something similar, I tried different methods to clean the old paint, Iso Alcohol, Acetone, MEK, paint stripper, sand pappers and finally sand blasting.
All the chemicals attack the abs plastic in different ways and rate, however not only it take forever but it may damage the pieces ( I learned the hard way).
I was a bit scared of using the sand blasting but for my surprise was by far the easiest, faster and best method. I didn`t damage anything, I was able to remove every single last piece of paint and the surface was pretty much ready for coating.
For the painting, it took me a few attempts to get it right but I was learning while doing. I tried with plastic primer but it seems to work with straight top colour on.
Enjoy
