Can someone suggest the best way to remove the rubberised coating from the centre console prior to painting

Thank you

i rubbed the rubber off my door handles with a scouring pad and it scratches but had a idea

p1200 wet/dry bit of time then a trizac 3m p3000 pad then buffed it up with a mop and compound can see my face in it lol

I used some "Armor All" interior wipes and a bit of elbow grease.  Took a bit of doing but looks good, no scratches  :cool:

I used a small bit of white spirit and it comes off pretty easily. not sure its the best thing to use but has worked really well on mine and doesn't scratch the console at all
