Stripping dash paint

[Hunter.]

I've pressure washed most of the paint off my dash but around the outer edges I'm having a hard time removing it. Are there any chemicals that can eat it off or make it easier to remove?

I used thinner yesterday on mine based off of recommendtion from the nbs interior thread. It said to let it soak for 1-2min then wipe it away with soapy water to keep it from turning it white.

Long story short, no matter what I did it still 'bleached' it white. Mine is currently in primer because of that. I would just recommend keeping at it with water/picking it with your fingers man.

I would try that as it won't break down the coloring in the dash.

Mines starting to peel :sad:

mine started to peel cuz my friend set a pizza on the dash, it heated up the paint and peeled up a spot a little larger than a quarter

Mine is flaking right above the air vent furthest from the driver

Most 03+ dashes I've seen have peeling problems, my dad's 04' was peeling before it had even 75k miles and it was less than 4 years old at the time. I've been using my nails, I put some acetone on it and whiped it off fast and it still made it white, not doing that anymore. I'll try the goo gone.

Ive heard of letting it set in brake fluid so it strips it without harming the plastic, but Ive never tried it.

Painted it with SEM stuff, sem cleaner, sem adhesion promoter and sem paint.

dfw painted interior but i like the glass look :imo:

It looked horrible before, looked like someone painted straight over where it was peeling without scuffing or sanding or anything, just spot spraying.

same here on my 01, riight on that corner :rage:

but its a black truck so stripping the paint off would match nicely, ive seen eddies and it is just a slightly glossy black texture under there - looks pretty good imo.
