removing paint
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 16, 2004 9:45 AM
I have several old model kits and dealer promo models that i would like to remove the paint from. I Have removed the paint from the flat areas, but sanding will remove the details molded int the plastic.

That Castrol is some great stuff isn't it?
Glad to hear you got it worked out.

Easy-Off oven cleaner in the yellow can is good.
I have also heard of good results on acrylics with Simple Green cleaner.

Is the Castrol Super Clean hydraulic fluid ?- I have a problem to clean out a ships deck
which needs to be cleaned up. The white primer paint I used has bubbled (over previous coat of grey paint that did not come right !). I need to get rid of this bubbly primer. Is Castrol the only answer ? I am not sure that I will manage to find the Super Clean here in Malta.

For those who cannot get Castrol try thre Polly-S Easy-Lift-Off. it works well. One shot in the Dark may be Mechanics waterless hand soap, it is suppose to remove grease and oil and it just MIGHT work on models? Just a thought.

the easy off is also available in a bottle somewhat like windex is, works great and easier to control at the same time, it took paint off of my revell X-1 in about an hour
