Epoxy/Glue on Paint

[Schuby87]

Today I decided to do the !side molding to my Trans Am. Everything came off fine except for the little piece of molding behind the door. It looks like the previous owner used some kind of epoxy or glue to keep it stuck on.

What would be the best way to try and get this off? I tried goo gone and lighter fluid but they didn't really do anything.

is it just the epoxy that is left, or are you still trying to get a piece of molding off?

Just the epoxy on the paint.

try the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover that I made a thread about. Worked REALLY well on the tar

prep a sol SP? thats what I used on my molding, it may just be the last bit of hard backing the tape had, hopefully it wasnt epoxed, mine took a good soaking of prep a sol and a ton of elbow grease and I got mine clean.

If nothing else works, you may have to take it to a body shop to have them use an adhesive removal wheel on it, it's basically a rubber wheel that attaches to a die grinder. Works pretty well at removing any kind of adhesive from paint, the only thing it leaves behind is rubber residue, and that will come off a lot easier than the adhesive will. . .

I went and picked up some acetone today, and that did the trick. Wiped off easily with a little elbow grease.
