Castrol GT Brake Fluid
I just got this because i heard this takes the paint off. So what are the procedures? Just get a bucket pour it in and leave my model in there? How long should i do this and is there any precautions? Will my model be alright and is it ok if i touch the brake fluid wit my hands?

I just stripped my Peugeot with this stuff after CSC refused to do the job.
So in answer, yes, empty it into a bucket and then just drop the model in, it took less than 4 hours to strip 3 coats of paint off my model. It will not harm the model, or at least it did not harm mine, and it will not hurt your hands either, although it will make them feel very dry. Only precautions I would recommend are keep it out your eyes and mouth, and if you have any open cuts, out of them too. Also, brake fluid is fine to use, brake CLEANER is bad and will destroy the model too. Ray

Get some type of container like tupperware or a 2 liter soda bottle with the upper half cut off. Pour in the brake fluid and then put in the model. It should work fairly quick, and unlike CSC you can touch it and not harm your skin.

Yeah....unfortunately at the same time the brake fluid is stripping off the paint it is stripping off the primer...so you will have to prime the body again....one of the little nusances of having to strip off and repaint a model....

Once you've stripped down the whole model, go over it with a OLD toothbrush and some regular hand soap. Give it a good cleaning then dry it COMPLETELY before priming again.
