Re: Paint Removal
Dumb question but was it clear coated? I have a cab I soaked in brake fuid for 3 days and not a flake of paint off..... then I sanded the cab in a few areas till the paint was dull looking. tried rubbing alcohol and paint finally started to come off...

I have a few more places in town to check and see if they have isopropyl alcohol with atleast 92% strength. Plan B is try the oven cleaner suggestion, plan C is just bite the bullet and buy a new cab online! Mario |

Re: Paint Removal
Thanks to another forum member its official folks! I have found the ultimate paint stripper with no effort required or damage to plastic done!
I watched a youtube video that the stuffz (dean) posted about using brake fluid. Using a DOT4 brake fluid I had amazing results! my truck body only has one layer of paint unlike what dean was dealing with and look at the results after a 2 hour soak! the before test pic Using a small container I placed the edge in the brake fluid. after 2 hrs. no damage or change in the plastic and a little scrub with a tooth brush that's the ticket folks! brake fluid DOT4 is the ultimate paint remover for your rigs!

Re: Paint Removal
Well I have a tip I came across totally by accident. I was soaking some parts that were super glued and wanted to break the bond. I put some fingernail polish remover in an old measuring cup that I had added paint to touch up scratches, screw heads, ect. Well as the parts were soaking about 15 minutes or so, the paint lifted right off. And for the super glue, it broke the bond.

Re: Paint Removal
All methods mentioned here are better than what I wold have done. I have a small, hobby grade, hand sand blaster, that's specifically market to remove pain from models & the like. I fear that it may cause damage to the fine details though. For that reason I've never used it.
