62rebel Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 need to repaint a Chevelle wagon i shot with Tamiya spray last year and it got mildewed; so far Super Clean nor brake fluid has moved anything except the Testor's enamel i used for trim..... i'm going to leave it the rest of the night in the purple pond and see it it budges. here's another question: if it DOESN'T come off overnight in the purple pond, will i be okay painting OVER it?

scalenut Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 on those tough jobs sandpaper seems to work in making it repaintable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill2525 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I use Prestone DOT3 brake fluid, strips just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagestang Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 3M adhesive remover might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 overnight in the purple pond took the white headliner and black firewall paint off but didn't budge the Tamiya stuff; decided to wetsand it off since it was one or two coats over bare plastic. came right off, no hassles. just wanted it cleaned before i paint it black....
