What is the most effective way to remove paint?

thanks for all the advice everyone

I always use Mr Muscle oven cleaner . Spray it over the plastic model , place it inside an old tupperware box ,seal down the lid and leave it for 24 hour's. I then mix a little bleach with another plastic container of water and gently scub the paint away with an old toothbrush... Be carefull of any small parts that might break off ; I tip the container of dirty water through a strainer to retrieve any small parts ... Works well stripping Humbrol , Model Master enamel paints and Gunze , Tamiya acrylics . Not so good on Holts Dupli-color rattle can paint finishes.

mike: it isn't.

interesting article mike thanks for sharing, i will be picking up some of this today and trying it out on some figures that I want to repaint.

Is that some sort of coded message?
Surely you can communicate the english language better than that.

The best thing out there is Castrol Super Clean which comes in a purple bottle.
It removes paint better than anything else. Easy-Off oven cleaner also works fairly well but takes longer.
