Stripping testors acrylic?

[JoeDeal]

Hello, I am trying to strip some acrylic paint (brushed on if it matters) from some parts but having no luck. I tried regular paint thinner draino and bleach with absolutely no effect. Before go out and buy some Of the stuff mentioned here I was wondering if someone can point me n the right direction. TIA.

I would sand it down in a few places and then drop it in the brake fluid for awhile.

Go to Walmart and look for 91% isopropol (rubbing) alcohol. It has a red label on the bottle vs the blue label on 70%. 70% isn't strong enough so don't buy it. Get a couple of quart bottles and a plastic container with a lid. You will want to keep the container sealed as the alcohol is highly flammable! Do not smoke or use any type of flame or spark when working with alcohol.

Testor's Acryl is super tough stuff. I've removed some flat black from white resin with Castrol Super Clean, but the resin was tinted gray afterwards. Maybe the 91% alcohol will work.

I've sprayed wet coats of lacquer on top of Acryl, & it didn't budge. As I said, tough. It probably could be used as a barrier coat, too.
