for all who have quest on paint removal

there is a site that evaluates the differnt chemicals which are used to remove paint & it is Bone Diggers Styrene Archaeology This is only for plastic.This site is a modeling site that leans torwards plane & cars

Thanks for the info. The only remover I have tried is the Super Clean and it worked great for me. I didn’t have quite the spectacular results this person did, it didn’t take the paint off in sheets, but it did work after a couple of hours. And you can use it over and over.

I used braking fluid, which did the job perfectly.

Sorry if this is a silly question but as far as reusing Super Clean - Do you just strain out the paint or what?

I just soaked the model in the Super Clean till it softened the paint and then scrubbed it under running water. There wasn’t much paint left in the SC itself. When I poured it back in the bottle I did strain the last little bit through a coffee filter.

I’ve got another body that I’ve basically given up on. There seems to be a couple of spots in the plastic that no matter what I do, the paint just wrinkles on. I think I’ll let it soak for a while and see what the SC does over night and after a day or two and find out if the paint dissolves or falls off. Just to satisfy my curiosity.

I posted this in another thread…

Yeh, I’ve been there and read his reviews. I’m happy with SC. It definitely seems to be less troublesome than Easy Off. I know I did a bad thing by sending the old paint down the drain. I need to find a better way of containing it.
