Best way to remove Testors Metalizer?

[Matt T.]

I used the buffing Metalizer from a spray can over bare plastic. Tried soaking in CSC for 3 days - parts are now gray/black and tacky but won't scrub clean. 91% alcohol maybe? Easy Off? Thanks!

I was able to get very dry lacquer off a model with that hardware grade alcohol. Got it in the paint section of Lowes. I knew it was good from all the warnings on the can. BTW, DO wear gloves and a mask and keep away from flame. It will freeze your fingers off, too.

Great stuff.

funny but true. Seriously being a laquer base I would think the cheapo 91% alcohol from the drug store would work fine, as would easy off

If it's lacquer, 91% oughta do the trick; I've had good luck stripping Tamiya spray with it as of late

Thanks guys! I'll have to pick up some 91% soon. Yes, the Buffing Metalizer in the spray can is lacquer.

Sak - I've read that the bottle metalizers can be fragile, but this buffing spray can be polished with a cotton cloth and won't budge. Heck, CSC barely dented it!
