[QUOTE="pete_the_teapot, post: 521255, member: 21666"] The solvent will depend on the paint that was on there. Xylene is good on most stuff (branded as Xylol and in a lot of brush cleaners) as is acetone and mineral spirits. Just pick something as aggressive as you want to be. If you just want to slightly etch it, hit it with mineral spirits and then a grey/red Scotch pad / wire wool. Depending on the paint you use, primer will cover up to 120 grit scuffs and basecoat around 300-600 grit. Then again it is in an area no-one looks at, so you could wing it. :) [/QUOTE]
