I've got a small patch of car paint on my soft top canvas and assumed it would be impossible to get out, however a mate suggested 'thinners' to remove it.
I am reluctant to give it a go incase the patch fades [but paint remains] but if I will take the chance if it almost certain to take the paint away.

Any thoughts?

Just noticed your M3 pic.
Mine is an E36 M3 vert. Can't believe I damaged the roof myself. I am usually so careful.

The Zohan

What colour is the roof?

What sort of paint, if emulsion then do the below but with washing up liquid, not thinners

Try thinners on a bit of the canvas roof which does not show, work in well then rinse, it this is Ok then you can try it on the paint patch

Use something like a toothbrush to apply it directly to the patch (dab on the thinners from a cloth) and a cloth/sponge when washing off. The thinners will soak in and spread around the patch so use PLENTY of soapy water initially then hose down the whole roof.
