ok, so how do i remove the paint from a plastic model, without damaging the plastic? ie, turps will melt the plastic, and sandpaper will remove small details etc.anybody know?

cheers,matt

Try asking over on rcuniverse.com forums, they'll be able to help.

Alot of people strip paint by placing the model in brake fluid for a bit of time and then scrubbing under running water with an old toothbrush.

There is a FAQ section in the automotive modelling section on automotive forumshttp://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/...splay.php?f=927

Good luck

I used to do this all the time. i used non-acetone nailpolish remover. just soak it for a little bit like about 10 min then use a toothbrush to remove the paint then wash the model in water. If you8 leave it to long in the nail polish remover the plastic will start to melt.

good luck.

brake fluid works a treat

smells for a while though...
