Hey guys…
So, I know this issue has been covered many a message, but I’ve got a twist about it.
I need to remove paint from a car body. But, on top of the normal spray primer is … HOUSE PAINT. In attempt to exactly color match the car, the guy I got it from took the color to a hardware store, and got them to match it in interior high gloss water-based house paint.
SO…which method should I use? I don’t wanna turn the model into mush, but I want to get that stuff off there. Its brushed on, and frankly looks pretty bad. I want to try to match the color in “airbrushable” paints.
I doubt that too many of you have actually used any interior house paint on your models…but help me out if you can!!
Thanks!

Try Simple Green. I’ve never attempted to remove latex, but it should work. It removes enamel, laquer and chrome too.

Castrol Super Clean should be alright. It stripped artist acryilics like Liquitex. Worked fine with no harm to the part. But like midnightprowler said, I’ve never tried latex. But I don’t foresee any chemial reacion that causes bad things to happen.
[%-)][%-)]WOW, never heard of anyone using Behr before!!! LOL Good luck getting the paint off, I would try everything mentioned above, as those methods seem to work well with other paint. I’d be pressed to try the paint stripper sold at home depot for that stuff, would probably just melt the model all together.
You know I have told guys like that, use a roller not a brush!!
