trapper Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 hey guys just a quick question, what do most of you use to strip paint from model bodys and parts?? any help would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I personally use brake fluid, since most of my projects that go into "Lake Brake" usually also find their way to the stalled project pile. Many use Castrol Super Clean, usually refered to as the "Purple Pond". A friend of mine uses that, and gets very nice results. Walmart also sells a cheaper version called Purple Power, if I remember correctly, that is more or less the same as the CSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbuzzed Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Purple Power works Ok, but I had great results using Easy Off Heavy Duty oven cleaner to remove Tamiya sprays. Put the body in a zip-lock plastic bag, spray in the oven cleaner and let it sit at least overnight. You might need to use an (old) toothburush for stubborn areas; cotton swabs dipped in 91% alcohol will work well on them, too.
