Well, 10 minutes later... using full strength IPA did NOT remove one lick of that "paint". He said it was a paint marker, but it looks like a Sharpie to me ... 
i was hoping to get the camera for $150 anyways. I only agreed to $190 because i thought i was getting the full retrofit cable kit. Turns out it was only half of the kit (the part that's EASY to get in the US). Here's what i'm hoping to spend on this thing:
camera - $150
trunk handle / camera mount - $12 (bought this already)
cable retrofit kit (main harness+HSD+wire taps) - $190 from partsale.eu
camera module (trsvc) - $300
which totals ~$650. Thats about what i want to spend on this project |
It's probably going to sound funny but gas removes paint. if you have some gas sitting around, put on some gloves & use a rag & see if that helps!!! bummed to hear the parts weren't what you expected...
