rchaffee Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM I have an old built 70 monogram chevelle I'd like to re-paint. Is there a way to remove the bare-metal foil? Tia.
NOBLNG Posted Wednesday at 02:50 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:50 PM Are you immersing the body in Super Clean or some other sort of stripper? If so it should come off with the paint. 1
64SS350 Posted Wednesday at 02:51 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:51 PM If you plan on stripping the paint, whatever you use to soak it in should surely remove it. IMO 1
Bainford Posted Wednesday at 03:31 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:31 PM As mentioned, some paint strippers should make short work of it. Saving that, I would try a firm toothpick or bit of sprue sharpened into a chisel end to scrape away the old foil. An Xacto blade can be helpful, too. Any remaining stickum can be removed with Goo Gone, WD-40, or similar. 1
Deathgoblin Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM I usually use Easy-Off to "de-paint", it dissolves the foil along with the paint. Easy-Off makes model building easier! 1
