I'm trying CSC to strip a lexan body.

I'll find out if it fogs up the lexan or rapes the paint

I use Bolink body wash, works really well, I painted a slot car body a couple days ago and got over spray all over it, it took all the over spray off and didn't fog the lexan. Also if you paint a body and don't like how it turned out dip the body in a tub filled with a mixture of body wash and water. When you pull it out it will be clear again.

well, i let the body sit for a few days in superclean. and nothin. Didn't fog anything up, which is good.

but it just sat there, not doin a damn thing.

next up, I'll try testor's easy lift off.. and if that doesn't work it's bolink time.

okay i can't get easy lift off and the bolink stuff is extinct.

so i fished around for tips and one thing that was suggested to me was nitro fuel. So I tried it out on three colours. Silver, Candy Blue, and White.

the fuel cut through all three like they were nothing and it didn't fog up any lexan either. :-o
