Hah, that's why I sacrificed the rockbuster body instead of the monster beetle body

I cleaned up the TBird dismantled and unglued the tires. Boiling water and white spirit were used

Picked up a lunchbox body and flat white paint for my next project
Neil

Successfully refinished my beat up old lunchbox body that I had been needing to restore for some time now. AND successfully used easy off oven cleaner to remove the paint off my vintage monster beetle WIN!!! Now to find a replacement world engines rock buster body

Glad for you with the oven cleaner

Yes! I lost a rock buster body while trying another suggested cleaner

but here's the results of the oven cleaner and the finished body of my Lunchbox (just the painting that is)

fine grit paper or grafitty remover. Short time application of the remover.

Overseas that's a great option, but in the states that stuff isnt available. BUT I found the Easy Off stuff worked like a charm.... unfortunately that took me ruining the RB body to find out the 1st suggested spray would NOT work .

You guys are lucky, you have a few options which is a good thing, we dont have many............... luckily the easy off worked.

I killed several bodies. I had the chance that a riend has a new sand blasting cabinet. But if the oven cleaner works (you are lucky on this point ) You can use caustic soda. ( JR advices) . That exists in liquid or cristals. For me, the liquid is more efficient. After, you have the ultimate solution: elbow oil with sand paper. 600 800 and 1000? ( I'm not a pro for that)

Yeah I don't have the patience for sanding all the paint off, I almost didnt want to deal with the Lunchbox body as I spent nearly 2 hours wet sanding the whole body down to remove visible scratches in the paint... I'm proud of myself for sticking with that though. lol
