Help With Paint Stripping?

Sounds good, i dont smoke, but will keep my models away from my mum, and the cooker :P

So far this reddish blink which has been soaking for a while isnt looking good, no fear of melting the plastic, but i still have time.

To strip something painted with Humbrol enamels I always use some oven cleaner. Put the piece in a little bag and spray it with the oven cleaner. This works great and doesn't harm the plastic.

Yesterday afternoon I threw in the alcohol a started SL300 body I bought on eBay. It was painted with the Revell enamel included in the kit. 12 hours later it peeled off nicely after a gentle scrub with an old toothbrush.

So isopropyl alcohol definitely removes enamel paint.

And doesn't cause that fun burning in the eyes and back of throat that oven cleaner does.

Glad to hear it worked.
