Can I remove battery acid stain from paintwork


Steve Cragg

Recommended Posts

I have some minor stains down the side body panel of my 7 caused by a battery acid spill. It does not appear to have gone through the paint but trying to remove with T-Cut has had no effect.

 

Does anyone know of a way of removing this or will it be "in" the paint and hence need a repray?

 

Any help or advice appreciated.

☹️ Fraid its 'in the paint' Steve ☹️

 

Probably not gone through the paint - just attacked the paint pigment - even if you rub it down & paint over it the stain will come through again.

 

Need to remove all yellow paint from the area + 20mm around the stain to make sure no residual sulphuric acid is left.
