Longbox55 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 There's any number of things you can use, depending onwhat type fo paint you used. For enamels, brake fluid, oven cleaner, or any lye based degreaser (Superclean, Purple Power) will work fine. Of those, the lye cleaners are the least toxic, and are water cleanup. If you used any of the hobby laquers, 91% rubbing alcohol will take it right off. Others will most likely post with their favorites. None are necessarily "wrong", more of personal preference/experence. Sometimes, what works with one brand/color of paint my not work with another as well.
Longbox55 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 BTW, I saw in your post under RV about the Thunderbolt colors. According to several sites I checked, the first 11 (10 manual transmission, 1 automatic) were painted Vintage Maroon. The rest were Wimbledon White.
Evil Appetite Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I've found that Pine-Sol works too. Only thing is, if you painted bare plastic..no primer...dont use it. If you primered, the paint will start to lift in as little as an hour. Without primer, it'll be a big mess. Edited January 25, 2012 by Evil Appetite
