You gotta try this paint stripping method!
Posted by jinithith2 on Tuesday, March 15, 2005 6:40 PM
Yesterday, I went to Wal-mart to just look around and shop for my new tennis shoes, and then i remembered my messed up spray paint car body. so I asked the guy and he said that "KleanStrip Laquer Stripper"works, so I bought it and checked it out.
when I dripped a little bit on to a section, all of a sudden, flakes of paint started to come off, and when I washed it, I was clean!
I also used it to clean my airbrush.
I put it in a little pipette and then squirted it thoruogh, and all the dried and caked up paint shot out.

It's good stuff, and you can buy it for $5
hope this helps

I went to www.kleanstrip.com and couldn't find it by the name "Klean Strip lacquer stripper" on the website. I suppose it's only sold in UK under that name. Maybe it's called something else in the US.

I would rather not strip paint in the first plase but we all have to sometimes so thanks for the tip.

Sounds good Smile [:)]

I just tried the brake fluid technique mentioned in the April issue on my Tamiya 1/48 Zero which suffered a very heavy coat due to the rattle can nozzle being Fubar'ed Angry [:(!] It worked like a charm! And the good thing is the fluid was only $1.97 and I topped off my Jeep's brake reservoir too... Big Smile [:D]

brake fluid likes to find its way into plastic pores & other invisible cracks. Eventually, it might cause plastic to just crumble. I like nail polish remover, oven cleaner or mineral spirits for stripping paint off models.
