like i stated before, chameleon is best for plastic, unlike elo, which i don't trust, due to the fact that it WILL craze and blemish plastic. i have let many shells sit in chameleon for days, and no damage at all!! it does not do any damage to plastic like elo does, or these "homemade" paint strippers some modelers use. if all else fails, start with a new shell, you will get better results that way, and make you a more satisfied modeler. i used elo before, ....never again. to me, if elo does this to plastic, it is no better than cleaners, car fluids,beer, etc. there is also a product out there called "joe's gel". it is a gel with very fine abrasive particles in it. it resembles LAVA liquid soap. get it at joe'smodeltrains.com. it works very slowly, and it may not strip all paint. if you want to remove paint off of small metal detail parts, try CA remover. it is not safe on plastic, or clear window plastic.
