[VAC] Re: Creating Interior Metal Finish



If it's that 'vinyl-clad aluminum' stuff - go to an area where you can mess up (behind a cabinet, gaucho, seating) and experiment. If you try to use something to 'dissolve' it, you could very well end up with a gooey mess that will never dry (don't ask me how i know this). Instead, try to lift an edge of the vinyl with a credit card type plastic scraper, and see if you can peel it away. This is the only technique that produces satisfactory results (that i know of). Any adhesive residue may then be cleaned off with 'Goof-off' or similar... but your 'experiment' may convince you to leave it alone... Others may have a simple trick i never found...
