Can you remove the idiot light plate?
(1/1)
SteveW:
I want to paint the housing, just wondering if anyone has removed one.
I assume it’s stuck down and maybe a bit of heat will enable me to remove it and then put it back after.

Yes, I stick mine on top of the radiator so it makes the glue gooey, it's like UHU, then slide a very thin blade under it and gradually peel off. Be careful to not bend the plate as it leaves a line in the metal.

I masked mine off then painted the housing.
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks for this. It’s one of the many questions I had lined up to ask so it’s good to see somebody else asking it.
Please let me know how you get on.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It might not be concourse - taking my time with the masking tape was worthwhile I believe.
