Well it really depends on the type of paint you're using and what you use to strip with. CSC and brake fluid are the most common strippers of paint. Ppl here who use modeling enamels like tamiya sprays say that csc won't dissolve the paint, and brake fluid will. Personally, I use automotive lacquer, which etches directly into the plastic, so csc and brake fluid will not dissolve this paint (only acetone will do this which will melt the plastic of the model) nor will they get underneath the paint if applied directly with no primer. On the other hand, when there's a layer of primer between the plastic and automotive paint, the csc will diffuse into the primer layer, and thus will easily let the paint slide off.

CSC and brake fluid will not damage the model, acetone and thinner will.

hope this helps

Yeah man, that helped a lot. I have a "messed up" Civic and I am going to try brake fluid to take the paint off and then finish the model.
