Note, none of these methods will work if you are using Rustoleum or Krylon lawn furniture spray paint products. You'll get most of it off but that stuff etches chemically into the plastic and will permanently stain the body. You can still primer over it but it won't ever go back to base plastic. Great video showing you results, just beware that LA and Super clean can cause some brands plastic to become brittle, this won't be a problem on vintage or Tamiya kits but can be an issue on modern recycled plastics used by used by Round2, Revell and others.

Great video, I have used both Purple Power and brake fluid, the brake fluid was about 30 years ago, I remember it working very well and taking Testors enamels (The old school stuff in the little glass bottles) off the model. The Purple power took several days of soaking on one of the paint strip jobs. I guess it also depends on the paint.

I have used it before with awesome results, works the same for removing chrome

Brake fluid for finish that has hardeners in it ! I try others first because brake fluid will tend to make the plastic brittle! Harsh chemicals like oven cleaner may work but tuff on the skin! This hobby is an experiment for sure 👍🏻! New Sub Bub! Thanks Cooper!🫡🏁🏆🏁ps this stuff cleans tires and white walls great !👍🏻

Toothbrush! An old toothbrush does a wonderful job. The bristles pull paint from the scribe lines and luvers on the the hood or cowl.

Castrol Super Clean works real well, it will remove multi layers of paint. Use rubber gloves. It will remove the chrome plating also. Just put your parts in a container , pour in the Super Clean , and let it do the work.

Break fluid bath awsome works good on chrome parts .break fluid sand the body first 320 grit then use the awsome soak that's I've done for old models.i restore alot of old ones

Thank u for the tip I will try it thank u for sharing keep on building

I need to order some. I have four car bodies with failed paint jobs that need stripped.

Seen your post on Facebook. New subscriber here nice channel

Have a great paint job. 🖌

QCS Stripwell seems to be the best stripper I've seen it strip all of it safely inculding 2k and duplicolor, rustoleum,krylon etc. With out damging the plastic... Using the big cans of spray paint may save you money but they usally bite you in the ass later crazing cracking months to years down the line... I find its ok for chasiss and smaller parts as a black out underbody... But for a finish on the top of the body its alway a roll of the dice since all of the paint manufactures are try to comply with the ever changing rules of the EPA this is the root of why we now have so much paint incompatiblity... Find what works and stick to it... Models are not going to get any cheaper...and time is not on our side.

Old toothbrush works best for scrubbing because they get into the lines and cowl vents, wiper areas better.

Depends on the paint type

I use a one gallon Ziploc freezer bag and remove all air from it while soaking. It saves a bunch on cleaners. Not sure but it seems to work quicker.

I'll have to look for that here in the states.

I use the green stuff in an upright container. Non toxic, non caustic. Takes a few days

That stuff works great. Try a good stiff toothbrush or something similar and it will make it easier to come off. Nice job. I gave you a sub.

I use Scalecoat in the plastic bottle with the train conductor on the label. (get it at a well stocked model train store) Let it soak for a day then scrub with an old toothbrush then wash in warm soapy water. Stay away from the Scalecoat in the metal container it is for stripping metal models.

0:20 Here come the supervisors!😁

I cut it 1:1 with water and it still works well.

I use Pine-Sol to strip paint.

spray on oven cleaner.. dot 3..super clean

try oven cleaners, spray well vented area, wear mask and rubber gloves, place in covered plastic container, respray if needed, wait overnight, the longer you wait the better, scrub with toothbrush, repeat if needed, may leave some paint but that can be used as a primer. Ya, it's old school it stinks, and you need to take safety steps, but it can be gotten anywhere, no waiting.

i use a product called stripwell wet your body let it set 30 mtis wash it off reuse over and over i have done 40 cars and steel on the first bottel.

Totally Awesome also a great chrome stripper also.I’ve tried purple power not impressed.

i use easy off oven cleaner, i am canadian ,lol near Toronto,Ont

Use a stiff toothbrush and scrub it in the container then wash off with soap and water.

Put in under warm running water and use a toothbrush to remove the paint

I used clean slate it's. A paint stripper for model cars

Brake fluid works

I've used L.A 's totally awesome- it works great!!, but be SURE TO WASH YOUR hands- it's VERY costic

Nah, I'm paying $1.99 American.

Pinesol..undiluted.

Use a old tooth brush on it.

I've been doing models for 40 years. Extra strength oven cleaner for paint and bleach for chromed parts. Let both sit overnight. Scrub with a firm toothbrush. Great job on your efforts. That body is ready for a second life.

Try using a toothbrush

Strip Well "works quick but-$$$$$$$$-use a stiff toothbrush to get paint off
