Miatatom Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What kind of paint are you trying to remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 DOT-3 brake fluid will strip most any paint off of a styrene body, and almost always with little or no damage to that kind of plastic. However, it's sheer death to resin bodies. Of course, as with any petroleum based product, proper disposal is a must, not just simply tossing it in the trash.

angelo7 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Will brake fluid affect glued parts? You know, like unglue the parts? Edited July 22, 2014 by angelo7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If the model is glued together with a solvent-type glue, then no, brake fluid has no effect. Solvent glues actually melt the plastic and fuse the two parts together. There is a huge (21 pages) paint stripping thread with all your answers at the top of this heading, called ''Paint Strippers-What to Use?"
