Default RE: Taking Paint off

well, did you use a solvent based polycarb paint or an acrylic polycarb paint ? in other words did you clean up the brushes with thinner or water ? they tell me mineral spirits will work without harming the lexan but i never had the @@'s to try it. i use acrylic paint from parma (faskolor) and pactra because after painting 7 years, i still make mistakes and they are easier to take off with water. fyi even tho removing paint with thinner will fog the lexan - and its a REAL PAIN to do - you can paint back over the fog. you really cant tell if you use a dark color. the reason is, the outside of the body is still shiny. i know this because it happened to me with the first body i ever painted.
