Hello jcwiek, I'm afraid you've got a bit of a job ahead of you. I certainly wouldn't attempt scraping away that tan enamel mess. You can strip away the paint, of course, but in doing so the base coat will come away as well. That means you'll need to repaint the body shells. It's probably the best way, however. I don't think there's any other way to approach this without risking more damage to the body shells. A heavy-duty stripper such as Chameleon should work. Rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol, the 91 percent type, probably isn't strong enough. Hope this helps, Paul Schmidt Contributing Editor Trains.com
