Having had a year from hell healthwise, I am now back to sorting things!

I have several items with the soft touch surfaces, with age mine have gone sticky/tacky,

What is the recommended treatment? strip and spray matt black? If so, what would i use to strip the rubber surface? IPA, acetone, cellulose thinner , white spirit etc?

I ask, before I make an absolute balls up!

Thanks, have a great sunday all

Hi Tony, when they are metal enclosures (like BeoLab 7), you could consider sandblasting/powdercoating. Check this thread with some photographs: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolab-10-paint-melting/
