Im attempting to strip my rc car body of its paint I put a test squirt of brake fluid on my car. How long should I let it set before cleaning or seeing any affects????





Thanks, Shredder111[>:]

I'll give you the same reply i just gave the guy in the other post. My honest opinion is that there is nothing that will strip the paint off a lexan body without destroying it.

it will look like crap, the lexan will be ruined and foggy, just bite the bullet and get a new body, put it down to experiance and dont mess any more paint jobs up

i heard the other day about practising your painting on the inside of old 2 liter coke bottles!
that way you can see the paint effect from the outside & practise painting on curved surfaces

Well I've used all different types and methods, including EZ-Off several times on diiferent types of paint and so far EZ-Off Heavy Duty (the yellow can)works the best and doesn't ruin the body unless it's left on for 3 or hours. I usually spray it on an let it sit for about 30-45 min, then I use an old toothbrush or green scrubbing pad (make sure you wear gloves). Then I thouroughly wash the body with dish washing liquid and reapply the EZ-Off if needed. Make sure you always wash the body between EZ-Off soaks. This is the method I've used on my last 3 repaints of old bodies I bought off of Ebay and various forums and so far it's worked on all of them. I just used it to strip the paint from an Eclipse body and I'm going to give it a trible flame job as soon as I purchase another airtank for my brush. I hope this helps and good luck. Remember to think safety first......wear gloves and make sure you work in a well ventilated area. Also if you don't want to mess up your sink, use an old pot or big glass casserole dish. I use my sink.

Hi

Hay Trible10 thanks for the EZ-off tip it worked great. I had some bad paint that just would not dry, and that stuff took it right off, leaving a nice clear body.

I have left the ez off on all night. No problems. THe longer you let it sit the less scrubbing you have to do.

brake fluid will leave a residue you can't wash off.
