sk8freak123 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 ok i bought a 1999 chevy silverado custom i think it's from revell and i shot a coat of silver then shot a coat of green(btw the color looked GREAT) and when i went to pick it up i realised that i only ended up shooting the top half of it and when i went to sand it it came off in the effect of wet paint when really it was dry.. so you think the cold weather had something to do with it, i will post pics tommorrow unless i wait all night and re sand and re paint.... but im thinking the cold weather was the whole problem, how do you strip paint???
Darrell Gwinn Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Well get a container of sorts, put some gas on it and throw in a match! Gets rid of paint quick and easy! Haha, no thats totally a joke. I use this ELO stuff (easy lift off) its ok, guess i havent really tried anything else. Edited February 15, 2008 by Dirk
slant6 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Ive used brake fluid in the past. put it in a container (one you dont intend to eat from) and leave the model in it for a few days. The paint should wipe off pretty well.
ajulia Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Hello there friend! I remove paint the same way as slant6 with brake fluid! I use an old display case top up-side down! as a fact my cousin just brought his 94 impala to the house with three different colors and I mean caked with paint ( an old-school paintbrush modeler) I dont mean anything by that also.. Within the next 24 hrs it was as clean as when he opened the kit. Keep on wit the keepin on!!! peace ajulia
sk8freak123 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Posted February 16, 2008 it's all good i justs took about 6 hours of sanding and it was looking better and smooth so thanks for the thoughts
