Removing paint from tires?
 

So picked these AG tires up off CL for pretty cheap, but they have overspray on the tires. I was going to use lacquer thinner to try to get it off, but thought you guys might have another/better way. I don't want to damage the tires in the process.

Hit the detailing shop and grab a can of tire paint. (yes they do make it)

Acetone......??????

Ive had good luck with brake cleaner getting paint off tires, spray it on the rag not the tire or you might take the paint off the wheels.

Super Kleen (available in Wal-Mart, purple container for about $7). It will remove grass grime, dirt, grease, paint, etc and I have never had any damage on my tires from it. Wear googles and latex gloves as it will remove the oil off of your skin, too!

I haven't tried it on tires yet, but PB Blaster removed my overspray on my lift arm.

If you have a sandblaster a light dusting will take it right off. It will also take off the dull layer leaving the tire nice and black.

If you can't get it off, Miller tire paint is some good stuff! I just painted some old tires to cover over spray from the previous owner, covered great and made the tires look pretty good. It is a concentrated paint, a little jug goes a long way!

Good luck,

Goof off the acetone stuff.

Lacquer thinner will take it right off with no damage to the tire.

The only success I've ever had is mechanical removal. 3M scotchbrite grade "VFN" (very fine) roloc wheels will buzz it right off and won't take the rubber if you're quick.

It may just be my poor luck that most of the above suggestions haven't worked for me. Sandblasting DOES work but has obvious down sides.
