The previous owner of my car spray painted the calipers red but now they are chipping. Looks like it was a few coats, but they probably weren't properly prepped as some pretty big chips are coming off. Is there a process I can use for removing just the red but leaving the silver underneath?

Thanks!

Hm, it'll be very, very difficult to strip back JUST the red paint. I would try starting with a light solvent to clean the grime off the surface paint. Then follow it up with a rag soaked in goof-off. Try to start at the top and rub and reapply as necessary until you see the grey. The silver paint is clearcoated, so there should be some wiggle room.

I think you're better off repainting them silver, or stripping the whole thing back and repainting it.

There's no way to take off the paint without taking off the paint underneath too.

I might give it a shot with the light solvent and see if I can stop at the clear coat above the silver. If that doesn't work I think I'll just strip the whole thing and repaint them. I figured I could save some time plus the Infiniti decals that I'm sure are under there by stripping off just the red. Thanks guys!

I don't think the "Infinitil" lettering is a decal. I think it's stencil painted.

hmmm.. when I repaint them i might print out some stencils and just spray the logo back on there.

I think, there is no any particular methods to removing the paint without taking off the paint underneath.
