 I use a variety of paint removers, depending on what I am working on. Kato: I use Chameleon Paint Remover, and nothing else. Kato's plastic will become brittle and crack very easily with Scalecoat II or other acetone-based removers. Proto: Chameleon. Works very nice. Paint "sheets" off rather easily. No damage to the plastic. Athearn, Walthers: Scalecoat II Paint remover. Only for these products. They appear to be the same kind of styrene underneath their paint. Atlas: Chameleon. Period. Scalecoat II will work, too. I also use a Microlux blaster with Aluminum Oxide for brass, and crushed glass for Plastic removal for stubborn paint. This is the item that is powered by a Shop Vac.
