Polar Lights GTO
I would like to ask, for whomever has done so, what product/method have you used to strip the paint off of Polar Lights' GTO? I am not sure what products/methods will and won't work on the paint. I have the 2005 yellow drift version by the way.

Re: Polar Lights GTO
I just clear coated the Car and polished it, made the A6 decal thats Rhys'. I also did a roll cage, and cold air intake. Then I painted the chassis, interior, motor, etc. To be honest this is a shitty model, I was pissed it didn't have the big aero kit on the box. I would assume that Castrol Super Clean, thinner, or Brasso Metal polish should work.

Re: Polar Lights GTO
You can just buy the unpainted AMT release.

Re: Polar Lights GTO
As mentioned above, the AMT release is the 04 Polar Lights GTO unpainted. Otherwise, I used Polly S Easy Lift Off and got the paint off the PL kit.

Re: Polar Lights GTO
Ok I have a new dilemma, the car is successfully stripped, but I have realized that the windshield has a yellow banner. My question now is can I strip this off of the windshield with brake fluid, or will it potentially damage the clear parts?

Re: Polar Lights GTO
Not worth risking with brake fluid, in my experiance the clear parts fog after a short period of time. I'm not sure what alchohol would do but I'm guessing using alchohol to strip it is the 'safest' method.

Re: Polar Lights GTO
I would tend to agree with cyberkid on the alcohol for the tampo on the windshield.
I would also recommend nail polish remover without acetone. Then a good polishing with some novus would get it to shine out. Chris Last edited by 73superduty; 06-22-2006 at 10:50 AM.

 acetone is VERY curousive (is that how you spell it  ), basically... acetone will have the clear plastic for lunch  Another way that I just thought of is to sand it off, then compount/ wax to get the 'glass' back to glass looking  I've seen this done before but never had the nerve to do it myself..
