Getting spilled paint out of interior
I came across this insurance write-off A6 Allroad https://auctions.synetiq.co.uk/aucti...-estate/154795 that has been written off because of paint spillage all around the inside of car and was thinking abut taking a punt but I have to say it's already been bid up more than I was thinking. I think it's £12k car without the damage and write-off category and was thinking bidding about £8k for it but it's now already over £9k. If I was going to buy it I would probably keep it for 10 years so I am not worried about saleability of write off car. Replacing all the affected parts would cost a fortune and take a lot of time so would like to know if it would be possible to remove most of paint without causing damage. If it was cheap enough I could even live with leaving paint as it is and just use it myself as not looking to sell it for a long time anyway and even a good one will not be worth much in 10 years time but I am afraid the price is already too high for that. If it was reasonably possible to remove the paint I might bid a bit more, it does not help that I don't know what the paint was, is it based on latex, vinyl, alkyl, acrylic, epoxy, cellulose? I guess the chances are it's latex as I think that's what most wall/ceiling paints are made of these days.
I see there are some paint stripper options that are marketed as safe for plastic or polystyrene and most of the parts are either plastic, leather (most likely coated in vinyl which is also plastic) and carpets are generally made of rayon and nylon also plastics so there may be a way to remove paint. Any suggestions welcome about the paint removal or the car in general.
