The rubber is starting to peel in places, but there is nice paint underneath. Any ideas about how to remove the rubber without disturbing the paint? _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2008 9:23 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Using your fingernails?
