I Need Help With Total Restoration of Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR
Hey, Im about to do a total restoration on a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR that a friend of mine did (he didn't do a very good job). Anyways, I know how to remove the paint from the body (CSC or Brake Fluid) but how do I strip the paint from the chassis, engine, suspension, etc...? Can I use the same method as removing paint from the body, get a plastic container with CSC or Brake Fluid and put the parts in it? If I can do it that way will it eat away the glue holding the parts together or will I have to remove the parts before I put them in the CSC/Brake Fluid.
Thanks for any help and Im really sorry if something like this has already been asked.

This will be hard to take off all those parts. THe CSC will loosen the paint up then you'll have to brush it off. I guess you need a lot of brake fluid and time. Mainly soak brush soak brush, but with time and patience it will be done.
The glued parts may become loose or weak as I just read in a past thread said by Integra818

Thanks for all the help, Im going downtown in about an hour to get some CSC and the other things I need. Well I wait to go I'll start removing sections of the car and get them ready to soak. I'll let you guys know how it turns out in a progress thread.
Thanks again.

If it was painted with Tamiya acrylics, then Windex will safely remove all the paint.

Thanks for everyone's help. I just got back from Walmart with my CSC so I'll be soaking it tonight. I also stopped at my local Hobby Shop and picked up some Tamiya paints for it.
