peter havriluk Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Any better paint strippers out there better than (all I could think of) brake fluid? Alcohol? Dedicated hobby products? Any brand names of specialized products would be wonderful. Same for comments on general types (like alcohol, brake fluid). Thanks very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Depends on the paint. For Mr Paint (MRP) I found the Tamiya lacquer thinner takes it right off without damaging the plastic. I would think it might work well with Mr Color paints and maybe Tamiya but I haven't tried it. Edited February 17, 2019 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can find it in the automotive section at Walmart or other department and hardware stores. It's a degreaser, so it may be with the other cleaners as well. Wear gloves because it will suck all the oil from your skin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
