As a custom painter here is what I have learned about stripping paint. <br /> <br />1. Avoid it as much as possible. <br /> <br />2. If you do need to strip paint. Use a model paint stripper such as that made by floquil. <br /> <br />3. The plastic will most often be discolored. <br /> <br />and 4.once you start all the paint needs to come off. <br /> <br />Pine Sol is an OK way to strip paint. But the problem with pine sol is that your model will forever be scented pine sol. If you like that smell, then fine. If not, then you should probably use a different scent, or a prescribed model paint stripper. To remove pine sol, just wash it in water until it all goes away. <br /> <br />My prefered method is start with an undec model. But if I must strip paint, I use Floquil Easy Off paint stripper. When paint is off, rince throroughly in water and paint as normal. Also I use an old toothbrush rather than a q-tip as it goes a little faster. <br /> <br />Glad I could help. <br /> <br />James
