STRIPPING PAINT FROM PLASTIC PARTS
STRIPPING PAINT FROM PLASTIC PARTS
Last weekend I was watching one of those power block shows and the guy showed a way to strip paint from plastic parts. He said he learned it as a kid removing paint from plastic models. He used brake fluid. He put the parts in a container and just poured the brake fluid over a plastic car grill. He said to just let it set and do its job, and when finished to just clean with soap and water. I personally have not tried it but would definitely try it on some scrap plastic before I tried it on my original part. One of my concerns would be softening of the part. I'm not sure if any of you have used this method or not, if you have please let us know how it worked for you.

I know brake fluid will remove paint all you have to do is look where someone spilled it when filing the master cylinder. Nevver thought of using it on plastic.

Easy Off oven cleaner also does a great job.

Re: STRIPPING PAINT FROM PLASTIC PARTS
^^^ What LM14 said. It works much better if you can seal it in something. I've restored a few consoles in my time and covering it in Oven cleaner then sealing in a plastic bag works well. Just don't breath the fumes!
