Stripping a body back to Plastic

[kiwigav]

Hi all, this has probably been asked numerous times...

I've had a disaster with my 2k clear coat reacting with decals and Tamiya spay colour Base coat. I'm looking to get some replacement decals but now I'm needing to strip off the clear and base colour.

What's the recommended product/ concoction to do this effectively..

Mileage varies here depending on person
My go to is gel oven cleaner...fresh lemon scent Easy Off
I have , ummm, screwed up a fair number of paint jobs so have experienced this

Gee, wish I had know this! Spent hours striping that Nimso R-34 with Laquor thinner and a respirator on my back deck
Best of luck to you KiwiGav, not a fun job

Brake fluid and an old toothbrush.

About to attempt this for first time on a Red Arrows Hawk that for some reason Future refuses to dry on. Any tips would be gratefully recieved.

It's painted with Hataka red line acrylic under the Future if that makes any difference.

Wear gloves or you will look like a psychopathic axe murderer

Hard work and it can possibly soften the plastic causing it to break easy

niro750. I am a bit of a newbe here and learned the hard way on this build. I will remember this and Scott's Tip on the Easyoff ! Let me tell you hrs with Laquor this and sandpaper was NOT fun . Thanks so much for that additional information!! HAGD
