using Acrylic paints

[ndbprr]

Actually what I painted wasn't railroad related. It was a Dukes of Hazzard car somebody asked me to build for him. There is one area I am not satisifed with the paint job but he will never even notice it so I am going to leave it.

Ndbprr,

You didn't say what you were stripping.

If you're stripping plastic, 91% Alcohol is pretty effective (as long it's not a Kato unit!).

After a few minutes you will see the paint floating off. Scrub the body with a soft toothbrush as you continually turn the model over in the alcohol.

Some modelers here use Pine Sol and find it very effectives.

Be careful if you consider using Brake Fluid! This is what we used "Back in the Day". Some of the new plastics today soften up in brake fluid, plus its messy and the model must be thoroughly washed once the soaking is complete.

I don't understand why some modelers still use brake fluid.

Rubbing or isopropyl alcohol should work. Try using it on the end of a Q-tip for better control.

I just tried Saclecoat for the first time as I have been a Floquil user for longer than I care to remember. My question is if you have to strip acrylic what do you use?
