removing overspray from roller cabinet?

[dumper]

any easy way to remove paint overspray from an older but totally functional Kennedy roller cabinet? I have tried paint thinner, tar remover, and fine steel wool, with no affect. The good news is it seems the brown wrinkle finish appears to be indestructable. I did a search and it seems that the only way to fix this kind of problem is to overspray it again with Kennedy brown, if that is really a color. I actually always wanted a black roller cabinet- wrinkled or not. Thanks.

1. Try a little carb or injector cleaner in an inconspicuous area.

2. Try a little lacquer thinner in an inconspicuous area.

I need to clean my Snappy box one of these days. The whole thing feels rough from paint overspray.

Rubbing compound will work best.

I bet he will regret that on that wrinkle finish box, he will never get all of that compound out of all the nooks and crannies!

You will with a mechanics hand brush that is stiff. I have done it a few times.

Try a clay bar. I know it removes overspray from automotive surfaces.

Yep detail clay and lube... You can mix up some car wash soap and water in a spray bottle for the lube.

Clear pvc cleaner is pretty good too, but try out in a inconspicuous spot, it might try to take the brown off.

Rubbing alcohol and a stiff bristle brush.

White Lightning clean streak http://www.whitelightningco.com/products/clean-streak.htm.

Both will remove what needs to be removed and save the paint/ finish.

Clay bar only works on a perfectly smooth surface.

If it has a crinkle finish, the clay will just come apart and make it look worse than it currently is.

I would try 3M adhesive remover. Either that or Autosmart Tardis. Both are good at removing bonded oil based contaminants.

These two are your best bet. But put the laquer thinner on your rag or a q-tip and only rub the oversray spots. It will take the old finish off if you aren't careful.
