QUOTE: Originally posted by Robpar I tried that old standby, brake fluid, and it took the surface shine off the model, the lettering. I let it soak for an hour, scrubbed it with an old toothbrush, but most of the paint stayed on. I flushed the shell completely afterwards to remove any brake fluid residue.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Robpar Over the last two weekends, I've tried to remove the paint from a Proto2000 GP9 shell. My model is a Lifelike Canada model, in ONR colours. I tried that old standby, brake fluid, and it took the surface shine off the model, the lettering. I let it soak for an hour, scrubbed it with an old toothbrush, but most of the paint stayed on. I flushed the shell completely afterwards to remove any brake fluid residue. This last weekend, I tried Windex after seeing that tip on a list some time ago. It took more of the colour off, but most of the paint is still there. It looks like a faded prototype now, but I'd like to strip it clean for repainting. Any tips for P2K paint removal?
