0petercd 6 years ago If it was previously DIY sprayed from a can then you might get lucky and be able to wipe it off with thinners.If that doesnt work you will need a paint stripper designed for metal surfaces and oil based paint removal, something like Nitromors.http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repairs/specialist-decorative-paints/nitromors-all-purpose-paint-varnish-remover-375ml
