I repaired a broken seat hump today (one side was smashed off by Royal Mail). When cleaning the paintwork with acetone prior to gluing the strengthening pieces in, I was surprised to find blue paint appearing on the cleaning cloth. A bit of experimentation later revealed that if the surface has been treated (all the polished shiny bits), there's no problem. If the surface has been left unfinished (e.g. under the seat hump) then acetone lifts the paint. Anything to save a penny, eh, BMW?
