Does anybody know if there is a way to remove paint from models without hurting the plastic? I have seen a couple of products out there that claim to work, point is,do they? thnx 4 any help…
The product you use to clean your oven works well. You spray a big amount on your model, you leave it for a while (the time is indicated on the spray) then you wash with water. If it’s not utterly gone, do it again until it is. I’ve heard of people doing the same thing apart the fact they put the model in a bag with the susmentioned product and then into the upper compartment of the fridge. Such practice would seem to enhance the process but I have no experience of this variant (works also with acrylics) . One thing I don’t know is if it damages clear parts. Here help wanted.
I agree with Jose … oven cleaner works quite well. Spray it on and after an hour of so rinse in the sink and scrub with an old toothbrush. Repeat if necessary. The time factor will vary due to paint age and thickness so it’s really trial and error each time.
use casterol purple cleaner that can be found @ wally world. it does good & won’t hurt yhe plastic you can recyle it & use it over & over
The best is Castrol Super Clean which can be found at automotive stores and such. This link will fill you in on what to use:

If you can’t find anything else - try automotive brake fluid - works very nicely and is readily available - you definatly need to wash the item afterwards - the only thing I’ve found that it won’t remove after a couple of days soaking and a little attention with a soft bristled tooth brush is Flouquil RR paints airbrushed directly on plastic (don’t think there is anything that will anyway)
