Removing Paint!

sorry this is kind of a noob question but i am a noob..........so to remove testors spray paint off of the body of a car can i cover it with oven cleaner for about 5 minutes and then wipe off all the paint easily?

Yes, I've heard oven cleaner will work.

But come on use your head. :confused:

That is why we have something special called the FAQ.

i've read it before.........and i dont remember seeing that there.............and this is a modeling forum and if i wanna ask questions even if they are stupid i will ask them................

Even if you read it before, you should check again, since it is most likely covered in the FAQ.

In fact, the FAQ says it's right here:

I did not have the intetions of being offensive, but just look again.

Trust me its there. Oven cleaner or brakefluid.

I've heard Muscle man oven cleaner takes Tamiya paint off like water.
Your using enamel so I'm not sure how fast the paint will come off but for sure it will come off.

Castrol Super clean!!!! just let your part soak in it until all the paint comes off! But when you use the super clean just know that it is the strongest right when it is poured out of the bottle, if it sits for a few days it will loose some of it's paint stripping strength (this is what I have learned in the 10 years I have been using this stuff) This is the only way you need to use, I promise!!!!

yeh i didnt mean to be offensive either........yeh it says theirs castrol or modelstrip..........but im not sure about oven cleaner but you cleared that up for me.................

and i was just wondeirn how long should i leave it in their for?

Have you put oven cleaner on your model yet?
I've never tried it out and want to see how it works.

Put some on it leave it on for a min. or more and wipe off.
See how it works.
Maybe I'll convert from brake fluid to oven cleaner. :confused:

i put it on for about a minute.........and nothing seemed to come off when i wiped it..........i might try leaving it on.......but i'll do that later.........

Oven cleaner is a very touchy approach. It does work, but it tends to work too well; melting plastic and etching off details. Plus it almost always reduces resin to a puddle. Brake fluid is a much safer alternative.

At least it has been for me. Its downside is that it takes a bit of time.
