Re: Help a auto paint newbie

Isopropyl will start to soften/disolve laquers instantly. You can certainly keep it in a sealed container overnight (and sometimes you need to) but if you have a tub you can dunk the body in and an old toothbrush to scrub wth, you can probably have the whole body clean in 10-15 min. Wear rubber gloves and goggles while scrubbing. The scrubbing will send small drops of thinned paint flying, so beware- I've ruined other projects by stripping on my workbench and splattering them with stripped paint.

You can use alcohol over and over. It will evaporate very quickly if you keep it uncovered, but it doesn't loose it's potency. I have a batch of 99% that I've had in the same covered container for two years now- still eats paint instantly (there's just less of it now due to evapration).
