Try acetone (nail polish remover) or rubbing alcohol. If all else fails, spray them black.

At my work, we use Brake Cleaner to remove paint off of parts. Not sure what it will do to plastic.

You could try MEK or Xylene. They might melt a little plastic so do it quik if you're going to. I would test the solvent on a spot it won't matter just in case to see if it changes the color of the plastic(milkiness). If these two do not sound appealing then you can try "goof off", stuff works on a lot of things.

Idk what kind of paint was used on them. Brake fluid, goof off, even high strength acetone. No work. I ended up sanding then down.


Whats a good paint to match the rest of the trim? Just go with like a flat black krylon?

You should paint it with something flat or matte black. You probably won't be able to see the difference in black (which should be pretty close regardless) between the side moldings and the mudflaps because they are not close enough to eachother for the eye to tell.
