Not sure if this goes here or not, but I need to know how to strip paint off of a diecast car. Thank you in advance.

Hi John... I usually will soak a plastic model in brake fluid and dont see why you couldn't do the same with die-cast. Let it soak in brake fluid and us an old/new tooth brush to clean the old paint off,it may take a few times but it will work just take it apart and put the painted part in the fluid. Once clean wash it with warm to hot water and soap that doesn't have any hand lotion in it. Once dry should be ready to repaint.

For die cast, I use automotive stripper, they sell cans of it at auto stores,....no the kinda stuff You'd use on plastic at all ! but great on diecast.
