James Taylor Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 My mosquito prototype is covered in several coats of Tamiya aeresol Acrylic chrome (gloss) yellow. The coverage is uneven as I dropped it!! I need to remove the paint (which quite frankly is rock hard). I've used modelstrip and Mr Muscle oven cleaner, both have made minimal dents in the coats. It has flaked off in very small areas. I can't get hold of castrol de greaser. Any other suggestions, or should I be looking at sanding off all that lovely 1/72 Tamiya detail? Thanks James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roi Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Where abouts do you live?? You might try some spray on engine degreaser like GUNK. Available at Auto parts shops. Test it first though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthdrake Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Brake cleaner will do the job as well. As was said before, test on scrap first. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-bone Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I would try using household ammonia. It will strip off regular Tamiya acrylic easily and will not hurt the plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
