   Right the saxo i bought has had some of the interior sprayed, the spray is shit its all patchy & got run marks on it, is there anyway to just remove the paint? Or should i try and wet & dry it & if so what grade should i use? Thanks.

   First try some paint thinners on it saxo's use abs plastic so the thinners shouldn't effect it.
   
   If no look with the thinners then rey some 600-800 grit wet and dry wouldnt go any harsher than 600 because it will bugger the plastics up.
   
   Thinners should bring it off just wipe some on and leave it to soak in or get a 5ltr bottle of gun wash in a washing up bowl and a stiff brush should make light work of it just remember to neutralise the thinners with warm soapy water after all the paint is off.
