Stuntman Mike Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello I need to strip an old set of weathered AMT big rig tires. The guy who gave me the tires said that they were done with Revell´s aqua color paints. How can I remove that stuff without killing the vinyl tires? I´ve never done this before with tires. Any advice is much appeciated. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadillacPat Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I airbrush whitewalls on to some 1/64 tires. If you need to strip your tires use Castrol Purple Power. CadillacPat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenrat Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 DO NOT leave them soaking in brake fluid as it will leach out the plasticiser from the vinyl and the tyres will shrink and go hard. Try scrubbing the tyres with methylated spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
