Bobby Boucher[TK] Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I took apart an Anovos helmet to fix a few things and I dumped Goof Off all over the front by accident! It messed up the frown paint (which I was going to redo anyway), but it really messed up the finish right up front. It's hard to tell from the picture but you can see an outline where the finish is gone. Looks HORRIBLE in person. I'm having a hard time finding anything helpful from traditional research, so does anyone have an tips/techniques I can use to fix this issue? I'm not worried about it now because I have other stuff to do but I'm at a loss. Any help will be most appreciated. (Photobucket isn't cooperating, so I had to attach a picture instead) Edited April 9, 2017 by Bobby Boucher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 To me, it looks as if the gray areas below the teeth are the result of the paint being smeared while removing the Goof Off. If it didn't damage the ABS finish (which it shouldn't have) of the helmet, you may be able to actually use more Goof Off to remove it. You may want to try that first. If it did leave a dull finish, the Novus 3 step polishing system can help bring it back to it's shiny appearance. You will have to repaint all the teeth to make them a uniform color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer6769[501st] Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Joseph is correct, Novus is absolutely awesome stuff. I've been amazed at what this stuff will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Boucher[TK] Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Thanks, I'll give Novus a try. It did dull the finish, the picture is just not very good. I have already repainted the teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
