Removing Polycarb paint
Question: how do you remove poly paint when painting inside of RC car body? I tried lacquer thinner but it scratches the body. Will anything else work? Thanks-

I tried acetone, took the paint off nicely but ruined the body. I thought it was going well but then noticed the bod was getting really brittle.

Try gasoline or nitro fuel

I nhave used Dot 4 brake fluid; as mentioned above it is a slow process but it will work

NON-ACETONE nail polish remover, works great and fast! Wont ruin your body either. Walmart brand works great, wont turn or soften your body or make brittle.

Denatured Alcohol works. I also use it to prep the bodies. Take a bit of scrubbing but it will come off clean without damaging the body

Your always better off buying a new body than trying to use a old body

i guess for me,i'm fairly new to the hobby and by the time im thinking paint it because i have a new body. I wish i could reuse my body's lol but im too hard on them and they come off in pieces :rock:
