clear plastics?

i think someone asked this question but.....
my question is how do you strip acrylic paint off clear plastics?
im not sure what to use...maybe nail polish????
please help...thanks

Nail polish? :huh: What would that solve?

CSC has been successfully used for stripping paints without damaging clear plastic, as has been ammonia. I also can't see why brake fluid would damage it, but I've never tried that.

lol at that one! :alien:

nail polish remover, CYPH3R

Do not use Nail Polish remover on clear parts!!! If it is Tamiya Acrylics ammonia will strip it in 5 minutes or less. If other brand try Isopropyl Alcohol(also known as rubbing alcohol)

metholated spirits is great for stripping acrylic paint
dont know how it will react with clear plastic though

i use metholated spirits to strip acrylics and its never reacted with my plastic....
but you should always try it on something first jsut to be safe

i did use the tamiya acrylics and i had some extra clear parts from my model and tested it out with brake fluid
it worked. i took a napkin and rubbed out the paint off the clear then dumped in hot soapy water

yea brake fluid works;)

um where do you get the clear glue?

what does that s2000 have 2 do with clear glue?

Whut im trying to figure out! Haha.:D

I used some isopropyl alcohol to rub off Tamiya acrylic paint. Do it gently, you do not want to break the lens like me. You can see it here. (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=103356)

Use Brake Fluid or CSC.
