Haven some troble
@RobinHelder NOT brake Fluid brake CLEANER, brake fluid will eat tour lexan..
@badboyazza2009 yes
will this remove paint that is on the shell from factory? or will it only remove paint that you have sprayed on? i am trying to find a clear shell for my GV rex x, but cannot buy them clear, so want to buy a prepainted one and remove it so i can spray my own custom shell
can u use clorox as well if u hav tried it to remove lexan paint
@TRXRunner yes
can this work on stock body shells such as the slash 4×4?
@zildjian203 Ive had no issues with what I am showing. There is brake cleaner and brake fluid. If you use the wrong one then it will eat plastic, and those who are saying that are also buying the wrong type. Gotta love the Internet! =)
Is that stuff safe to use on plastic? I have herd that it eats through plastic.
too bad i didnt got to manage to get the paint off my shell.
i think it was spaz-stix i used..
i used Brembo brakefluid 4
@RobinHelder I havent seen this vid in 2 years.
If you use the abrasive side lightly to pick up the paint then that is fine.
@Squirrelod well i tought you used the rough side of the sponge
@RobinHelder You can get it off. I have never known a sponge to scratch.
ok, i got a hpi baja 5t shell and the paint all crackd and flaked off. the shell is like 3 to 4 months old… can is still get it off with this brakefluid? and arent you damaging the shell with a sponge?
@rcnitroracer Nope, I wear the pants in the household and bring home the check. Noone does that to me in my household.
As for RC costing cash- sure, it costs cash. But, if you over spray or want to re-do a shell then this will help.
We all have different tolerances of what is, and is not, acceptable. Some are cost conscious and some are more apt to spend for a new shell. Some, who run models not in production anymore, dont have a choice.
notice the wedding ring, you know his wife kicked his @ss for making a mess in the sink not to mention the smell in the kitchen.
RC is a hobby thats going to cost you money, just buy a new shell and start over.
nice transformers logo hehe
That worked nice for me.
Wont work.
how about just good ol 100% acetone nail polish remover?
Its not acid. Use what is listed in the video.
isnt this acin because i want to repaint hpi body shell su i dont want to acid it please writo to my email
Do any of you know if lacker thinner will work to take the paint off of a stock body?
Great video I wish my dad had brake fluid that I could use.
I got a evader exb that came pre painted can i do the same thing to it.
does this leave the shell scuffed up in any way? especially with scrubbing it? and did u manage to remove all the paint so its a completely clear shell?
