New way to strip paint from bodies, safe and simple!

[69H.O.Firebird]

This stuff works great! Will strip lacquer also just as easy. 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

The paint is like, what? An hour old?

[69H.O.Firebird]

Two months old. Lol

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Remember when i answered that ad from a sad mother whose son got killed in Viet Nam and she was selling his 1963 Corvair?

When i got there it turned out to be a 1963 Corvette coupe, Fuel Injection, 4-speed, etc. I hung my head and paid her the $1,000 asking price.

We were both pleased so it was all good.

Huh?

[SfanGoch]

I believe the answer is √1.

 

[TarheelRick]

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. Where is this stuff available and what damage will it do to my mortgage payments? I have a couple of older junk bodies I would be willing to test this stuff on. One I got in an "ebay box" so I do not know what type paint or for how long, should be a good test mule.

Enquiring minds want to know... where do you get this stuff?

[69H.O.Firebird]

Contact them directly, I just made this video two days ago on a body that was painted 2 months ago. This stuff was developed to strip lacquer and to be used on aircraft. It worked and I’ll be purchasing it. This was a sample given to me in order to test it. It works

Website is odd....no info at all other than 'contact'......

I dunno. The stripped styrene is still discolored. I use Testors Easy Lift Off and it will strip hot lacquer paint completely, without any staining or residue. I bought this Lindberg 1953 Ford used. Neon green lacquer was sprayed directly on the hood and body without any primer barrier. I brushed ELO on the parts. After about 20 minutes, the paint started to wrinkle and was easily removed by scrubbing with a tooth brush. It took three applications to remove the paint from all of the nooks and crannies and there wasn't a trace of neon green anywhere afterward. The parts were slightly etched by the hot lacquer; but, they were a nice, bright white.

ELO was my go-to until one of the bodies I was stripping crumbled away. It worked fine 'til then.

[SfanGoch]

I've only had that happen using Easy-Off.

[Dave Van]

Citri-strip   any hardware or big box store

[SfanGoch]

Great stuff, Dave. Similar to Citrikleen, which is used to remove graffiti, including spray paint, from subway cars in NYC.

[moparfarmer]

Looks impressive but let see it work on Duplicolor Lacquer that is years old..Where do you get this stuff and how much..Is it going to be available in Canada? or elsewhere?

You have to use it very sparingly - I use it on a toothbrush, after using Super Clean, to remove stains the SC can't get out.

This new stuff? If it cleans old flat black enamel off a chassis, I'm in.

[SfanGoch]

Yup, never soak parts in ELO. Says so in the directions.

[jchrisf]

I saw on their facebook page that they are not shipping yet.

Plenty of safe, effective, tried, and true methods here, readily available:

But this is an all-new and magical solution we all should try and rave about! 

[Painted Black]

Hey if it really works, then great. But I'll just stick to Easy-Off abd 93 alcohol, easy to get and has not failed me yet, never had a body crumble from either...

I recall 20+ years ago, on the rec.models.scale Usenet group, someone was pushing the then-new(?) ELO (Easy Lift Off) paint remover, and asked me to try it and provide feedback. Well, I tried it on both Testors Gloss Red oil-based enamel and Duplicolior lacquer, and it worked okay on the Testors paint, but didn't have any affect on the Duplicolor, so, call me skeptical of any "new" paint stripper (though I applaud the O.P. for nor stooping to "NEW!!!!" levels and excessive exclamation).

I have always had great success with Easy Off oven cleaner (lye, basically) in the yellow can when needed. Easy to find locally, and strips everything. That will continue to be my go-to.
