Removing paint from plastic..

[Darren85]

Hey guys just a quick one.. I am wanting to know the best product thats I could probably get from Halfrauds or some other place i.e B&Q or Homebase, that I can safely use to strip paint off of plastic?

Pretty simple one that haha.. Thanks all!

can you elaborate mate? where is the plastic, is it smooth or textured? what type of paint?

 

[Darren85]

Lol ok sorry I didn't realise there was more to it

Got some Ph2 bullets which where badly painted and basically need them back to how they where to redo the job.

Should clarify that a bit mate

Sand them.

Sand them.

I'm lazy, plus I'm looking for something that will get it right back, from what I can tell they been painted at least 2 - 3 times, I'm fed up with sanding bits tbh :rasp:

If you mean paint stripper it will melt the plastic I imagine.

Yeah I know that, but I was pretty sure I once saw something that strips paint from plastic.

 

[Aluco]

Oh right sorry, can't think of a product that will do it personally but I'm not exactly experienced in the field of paint stripping :rasp:

 

[Darren85]

Haha.. Darn.. Well I guess some more sanding won't harm! I must of gone through about 10 sheets of each 250 - 1500 grit in the past month!
Cheers for your help mate

Brake fluid! Let it works it way in... Even have to re-apply since you've so many coats of paint.

yeah, brake fluid might work, but not sure what it will do to the plastic
