    heat gun and scraper is by far the best method
    this method doesnt dent, scratch the paint as much as the hammer and chisel.

    use kero, degreaser to remove the residue
    heres a few pics of mine, freshly painted




    id definately reccomend repainting

    looks so shit other wise
    im thinking about putting some chequereplate or something in the footwell

    what i did was put some kero in a spray bottle then spray on and let it soak for a while
    then wipe away

    there is some brown stuff near the joints
    just paint over it all

    Get a tin of prep wash (wax / grease remover) from supercheap and wipe over the left over sound deadening with a rag, it will get it off..

    Im doing this at the moment, but might be leaving the front footwells in. mostly because I CBF

    It's fun . Will the kero effect the paint at all? Im at the cleanup stage now.

    kero will clean up all the gunk thats left.

    will leave the surface nice and clean for painting.
