in retrospect i should have looked a few threads down and i would have found the response.

I've seen a few posts about using krylon fusion and I have seen some posts using other ones.
Does anyone have specific recommendations that match up with associated white parts? There are quite a few shades of white in krylon.

Is acetone safe to use on white plastic parts? I have a white stealth tranny case and a white rear bulkhead that have what appears to be CA glue on them. I've read about using acetone to remove the glue from old, worn out tires and plastic wheels....
