If it's acrylic,the Power spray should work. ;D.Keith Christie says he sprays the parts,and puts them in a freezer bag and seals it.Then leaves it for 20-30 mins,take them out,and get an old tooth brush and start scrubbing.Hopefully that'll work   |

I faaarked up the front brake disc carriers on the Ducati, I can get round it if worse comes to worse but I would be happier to strip back and start again.
CB mate, if you can do anything on the Pons NSR then fantastic, I am prepared to pay more than a fair price plus something for you as 'the facilitator'.
Keep me informed fella, very much appreciated.

Hello to you across the pond and your Humbrol paint removal efforts. My weapon of choice here in Canada is a product called EASY-OFF. Comes in a spray can or trigger pump. Brand names aside the active ingredient here, is called "Sodium Hydroxide", it is caustic READ all labels and warnings. Put your painted plastic item in a lidded plastic storage container (Rubbermaid) as an example. Go out doors, spray, put on the lid and leave it sit overnight. Next with eye and hand protection on and running water and stiff toothbrush remove residue, may need two applications depending how thick paint layers are. Also note that some glue joints may come apart, be ready for that. Cheers.

Hi guys, appreciate your comments, couple of options there!
I will try Power Spray and I have seen Easy Off somewhere I'm sure.I have a contact in the Model Train area so will ask him about Scale Coat II Wash Away.
Thanks guys
