    Remove paint from Exhaust...

    I had to take a left turn last week over freshly painted yellow lines... This is the result:

    Any suggestions on how to clean this off? I don't want to scratch or ruin the finish on the exhaust... The paint is crazy hard, and chips off, but still leaves some residue...

    I actually went after the highway department because my wife was forced across fresh paint and it got all over her car. They actually paid to have it fixed.

    People use EZ-Off oven cleaner to remove boot rubber off pipes and I used it to remove pinstriping paint off OEM Painted ABS Plastic (I was told to by a motorcycle painter). I don't know what the finish is on your pipe though.

    That means it got on your tires. Are you sure thats the only place you have it? I dont know what type of thinner you could use without harming the finish in the CF. You might try sending an email to Yoshimura and ask them what is safe.

    It was on my tires, and everywhere! The plastic cleaned up real nice and easily... suprisingly! I have some stuck on my lic plate still, but I am in no rush with that. I tried scraping it off the yosh, and it was leaving residue, not sure if it is secondary to the heat? None the less, I might try rubbing alcohol as recommended by someone.
