does anyone know how to remove the door handles, rear view mirrors, and the trunk bin (dont know what it is called) from a maisto H2 SUV.
prepping for paint so im removing everything.

I dont know who did it but someone exchanged the matte black parts from an H2 SUV to an H2 SUT's chrome parts.
I think it was gafoto...not sure.

but anyway that is what i want to do.



PS what do you recomend:

Spray can OR airbrush

usually on all of my models including a maisto ferrari f50 if y ou get somthing as simple as a knife or blade you can fit it in at the glue points or around the areas where they connect (stuff like door skins) and then you just slowly and gently lever it in different spots being careful not to damage the plastic working along the whole piece. eventually it will get looser and if you have to you can go back and concentrate more on the glue points (whatever they are called... where they are glued on.)there may be some chemicals used in paint stripping that dont damage plastics but weaken the bonds from the glue but im not sure, youll have to check with the faq on that one. sounds good on the chrome and do you already have an air brush? if you do id say go for that as you can mix your own custom colours, make it look unique and stand out from the pack. Good luck on this project ;)

who was that directed at, if it was me im sorry i don't have a digi camera but it just involves seperating the parts from the body using a knife or lever.

I've used the Paasche VL for years. Never tried anything else. They can be had for around $40.00

Might try eBay also.
