Hey all. Haven't posted in a while cause I've been busy with the 1st semester break-in (lots and lots of Rye and beer... oh, and studying ;) ) and haven't made much progress on modeling. Anyway, i just started up again and wanted to do a better paint job on my 70 mustang mach 1. Its a truck van and SUV paint, light metallic blue from duplicolor, I believe I did 3 coats of duplicolor primer underneath. Anyway, the finish is really nice but I just put way too many layers on, so the cowl vents and wiper blades and window trim are all sorta half blended into the body. I submerged the body in CSC for 3 days and the paint isn't budging. Will brake fluid do the job?
But I actually had another idea, I wanted to make this a very nice and smooth custom, so i thought maybe I'd just shave down the window trim, cowl vents and wipers and fully blend them into the body, then after bringing it up to 800 grit, going over the body with a new coat of paint. What do you guys think?
Oh, BTW, go to my thread in diecast modeling and vote on my poll!
Thx! :)

Maybe try to keep it longer in CSC.
My first try to remove auto color in breke fluid took about 2 weeks. Color was full hard and it took very long time. But fresh paint gone i one night.

Duplicolor can be very tough to remove, it's a very tough lacquer, so I'd just keep it submerged longer, and maybe sand the surface to help the CSC get inbetween the plastic and the paint.
