I have removed all vinyl from the car except for 2 small areas. Early last year the previous owner had a new front end carried out at vauxhall due to an accident.

The Vinyl that is on both wings at the bottom will not come off, i have tried everything i can think of inc, hot air gun, industrial hot air gun, cellulose thinners. Notthing has budged! I took it to my mate and he seams to think its 'painted' on to the wing.

Anyone know anythin else i can try? I am getting a respray soon so dont mind too much about the paintwork but still wanna try and keep it neat.

Thanks

its probably matt black. works a treat as the vinal look. and if a new front end went on im nearly certain its paint

I just sold a tailgate the same.

Looked like Vynal across the bottom and even flet like it but was painted- like blackboard paint.
