help me clean a P400 with Stains{?}

[BeHapptFTW]

hi. so i got this case for almost free. the thing is, it came with this weird stains or something. I dont feel anything in the stain mark, as it was part of the paint itself (so its probably not ink). I tried water, alcohol and even kerosene (as i had some ). All three did nothing, both neither worsen it or imrpvoed it.

edit: the case was bought in june this year.

It looks like oxidization. I would try a little bit of automobile buffing compound on a clean rag. Toothpaste or baking soda would be other possibilities. I think you need something slightly abrasive.

its weird. i dont feel it as rust (rougher, and "3D").

ok mystery kinda solved. it appears to be some sort of quemical that fell over it and removed the upper layer. sanding it confirmed it. Any ideas how to fix it? maybe something to remove that layer so that the entire case is that color?

Nope. Its inherent in the p400 grey case. I ended up just spray painting it. It was easy to disassemble. Good luck

I thought so. What kind of paint did you use?

Normal hsrdware store spraypaint. Dont buy the cheapo 2$ ones. A medium level one will work (7$?) I used only one but buy 2 in case.
