does anyone know how to remove spray on dynomat?

[TypeG]

a long time ago, i decided to use spray on dynamat to stop excess noise from the trunk. it worked ok, but it's damn ugly. i have tryed many things in hopes of removing it, (paint thinner, bug-n-tar remover, gas, ect) no luck it is hardy. maybe someone has experience getting it off. i want to get it off without messing up the the shiny paint under there. later.

it wasn't meant to be removed:

think about why it works and why it was put there... if it was easily removable, it wouldn't do it's job.

add to that, paint on the inside of the trunk doesn't have a clearcoat, and isn't shiny... and people aren' going to see it anyway.

you might have to sand it off... which would be tedious to say the least.

probably media blast it. but yeah the paint underneath is pretty much already ruined if it stuck at all. and since you can't get it off, it sounds like it stuck pretty good.

I have read that people have used dry ice to harden it enough to scrape/chisel it off. I have not had the pleasure, but I thought I would share the info.

i'm finally starting to take this stuff off. i have been using a hair dryer on high heat and that seems to soften it up. temp seems to be the way to go, but if anyone has any tips, i would like to read them. i also burned it with a match and that seemed to work better than the hair dyer.




finally starting to break through to the paint.

i have created a method of removal. it's tedious, but effective. i saturate the dynamat with bug and tar remover, then let it soak in. then i use the hair dryer to heat it up, then scrap it with a plastic putty knife. here is what 4 hours of work got me.



when i used only the hair dryer, i got small pieces, but after adding the tar remover, it soaked in and softend the coating, allowing me to take off more at a time.



the paint under there was mint. when i get it all off, i'm going to polish it out.



if anyone would like to add tips, by all means. later.

What did you use to make it shine like that? Did you treat it the same way as an exterior piece?

you take awesome care of your shit man, but i think it's also the color that makes it look so good (i know it's OEM, but it's like metallic-ey)


ya know?
