Paint Removal

[martinu]

well i have finally found a chemical that removes paint from plastic bodies tht doznt actually damage the plastic, and it removes lacquer paint instantly (after 5 years of sanding, using caustic soda, and throwing away messed-up models)

It was given 2 me in a bottle, and i don't exactly know its name, but i know that in new zealand, u can only purchase it by the barrel.

this stuff is awesome, all u need to do is get an old paint brush and dip it in to the trasparent, extremely smelly chemical, and brush away.

I tested it on an old r32 tamiya gtr body, which i heavily primered, and heavily spray painted black, i used so much laquer that the side skirt was just one big bubble. I let it dry for 2 weeks

the paint came off the body straight away, and before i knew it, the bubbled up side skirt looked like a side skirt again. The chemical stripped the paint back right to the original dark grey plastic molding, without any damage done to the plastic. AWESOME STUFF!

The only downside to this chemical is that it evaporates extremely quickly, so the lid has 2 b extremely secure.
I wish i had a digi cam, then i could show the results.

I'll try to find out what the name of this magical stuff is too.

Or you can buy a litre or two of break liquid , put in a big container and bath , left indiside the body you want to strip down. Don´t you worry for the time spent in that liquid. If they are months , It´s the same ,the plastic stays the same. And all kinda paint will be removed like in pieces of films cleanly. Wash it once stripped with water and soap and that´s all.
