REMOVING PAINT FROM PLASTIC

[oldskooolracer]

Both of my blasters have spray paint all over the plastics.


i didn't know how to get it off easily so i just put more paint on it.


any suggestions?

Paint remover. Go to a auto body shop or a hardware store. They should have something.

 

[oldskooolracer]

that doesn't hurt the plastic?

Well its meant to take paint off cars and half the sh*t on cars is plastic these days, so no i don't think it does. It might discolor the plastic though.

they should have somthing for diffrent materails! because i think stock plastic is dyed and not painted (from the factory) right?

YEAH ALL ORIGINAL PLASTICS.


ONE SET LIKE GREY I THINK AND A COMPLETE SET OF PURPLE.

just use choke and carb cleaner or brake clean its cheap and will take the spray paint off good, and not hurt the original dyed plastic that is if its regular paint,

yeah, just try what balster freek said but try it under neath the plastic or some where not so visible first!

I use some cheap carb cleaner from autozone works great and does not dull the plastics

I used the flat side of a razor blade to do mine

Don't use a blade & risk scraping the plastic.
Try acetone [same stuff used in nail polish remover], comes off instantly and evaporates quick!
Something handy to have around the garage, also break up carbon buildup pretty good!

Aircraft stripper works the best

haha, acetone, i used that to clean my whole engine, inside and out, it removed the build up on top of the piston and made it look like new, although a little discolored from heat
