I have a lot of second-hand plastic models which I want to strip down for repainting.
Some are painted with enamels, others with acrylic paints.
I've heard a lot about "Castrol SuperClean" being the best material for removing paint. However, this doesn't
seem to be available here, I've tried asking in car/bike shops and nobody has even heard of it!
Is it available under a different brand/product name, or is there another equivalent product which I can use?
I've tried using "Modelstrip" which is available in most UK model shops, however this is difficult and tedious
to apply (a thick paste which needs to be painted on), and expensive (£5 for a small jar, and not re-usable)
I've also found that acetone-free nail varnish works quite well on some paints. With others, however, it will either
simply not remove them, or will react badly with them causing them to ripple and stick to the underlying plastic - too
risky to use in most cases!
