  • DIO Paint problem: Inputs needed

    A few days back my home was getting white washed and despite repeatedly asking the painter to take care, he did not care for my Dio and he spilled paint all over the scoot...!

    After trying to clean, its all paint over the body and its not going...!

    Inputs needed as to how can I get my scoots sheen back without harming the color...!

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      First give a Wash with a Good Car Shampoo:Sonax or Amway is a good choice
      to remove all the grim & dust. dry the bike.

      get half litre of Diesel from the bunk take some tailor waste rub on the affected surface the paint should go away

        3 options:
        1. Try removing it yourself with nailpolish remover. If it is light, it will go. Don't worry, nailpolish remover cannot dull your paint.
        2. Take it to the painter-he will dip a cloth in thinner&carefully remove the spots so as to not affect the original paint. Don't try this on your own!
        3. If the paint is all over the bike&does not go even after trying 1&2, it would need a repaint.

        P.S. Don't use petrol, diesel or kerosene-they will dull the paint&it would need a repaint then.

          Thanks Ken, Arvind and Sarvajit

          The paint is all over the body (especially on the front)..

          I tried it with petrol and they were getting removed but after a little rubbing it would take a complete day if i go ahead with petrol


          (Petrol did not take away the color)

            diesel does not dull paint its hard base dense solvent which is thicker than petrol or kerosense. diesel is the best stain remover you can get
