Advice for removing paint.
 

Hi all,

I'm in the process of resurrecting an old tamiya F103, the body shell is a Ferrari F301b and it's in good condition but the paint has since faded and begun to flake off, i have peeled most of it off but there are some areas of paint that is still stuck.

I want to get the paint off so i can do a respray, is there any method of getting the paint off without using sandpaper?.

I know it's unusual for someone to want to respray a polycarbonate shell but i dont really want to fork out £40 plus for a newer one. :eh?:

Thanks.

Best stuff I've tried is dot 4 brake fluid from halfords, but it is a pain to do!

follow that and it should work :)

+1 on the dot4, it will be hard work though and its generally better to buy a new body to get the best possible finish.

Good luck and hope you post some pics of the finished work.

Thanks for the replys, just need to find some Dot4 now lol.
