Matt Bacon Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I've never had this happen before, but somehow the Zero 2K Clear coat on my Delta Integrale has managed to "pull" the red colour from the plastic body through a coat of Tamiya Fine Surface Primer AND the yellow base coat, so there are uneven areas of orange-ish tint where the clear coat is dyed slightly red. It's NOT burned through to the base plastic, it's actually pigment in the clear. This means I need to strip the body, and start again, this time with a "sealer" under the primer (I didn't know this stuff existed until this happened!). Does anyone know of a method that definitely works to strip Zero 2K Clear? I've read lots of "generic" suggestions, like "Try IPA" or "Try Oven Cleaner", but ideally I'd like to hear from someone who has actually used a specific product themselves to remove this specific 2K clear coat. And preferably a product I can get hold of in the UK, unlike, say "Purple Power", whatever that is... Many thanks for any suggestions! All the best, M.
Chief Joseph Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'd say your best bet would be to soak it in DOT3 brake fluid for a while and see if that does the trick.
Mike Chernecki Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) This will be tough being 2k clear. How about Klean-Strip for flexible platic bumpers. Is this available in UK? Not sure how it will be on styrene. Here is a link to it http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/8985299/ Have you cantacted Hiroboy for a suggestion? Edited January 22, 2015 by Mike Chernecki
