How: Do you strip paint off plastic models?

Just got my last five jetbikes but they have this nasty biel-tan green and i want to strip em, or do i just spray black primer over them and paint over it?

Simple Green for half a day to a day for plastics

simple green, where do i get that ?

I dont' know any definite store down here. I assume walmart or some such.

Can you get on th chat box?

I found it at Ace hardware.

home depot is the cheapest and you can buy it in a gallon sized for your whole army

Home Depot or Lowes for Simply Green. You want the concentrate.

I'd strip metal, but plastics break in the process. Might be easier to just spray prime black over the current paint job.

Personally never had plastics break with simple green. I have never left it in there longer than overnight. I've stripped everything from guardians to waveserpents and wraithlords.

yeah i just put all my tau models in simple green for 5 to 6 hours and it worked. No breaking or anything

what hurts plastic is acitone*sp?* which is commenly found in paint thinned and fingernail polish remover but not in simple green or degreasers

I didn't mean they would crumble, I mean that I break the glue points when scrubing the gunk off after the bath.

In a pinch you can use Mean Green and I found it at walgreens;)

What kind of Simple Green is it that you use specifically because there are lots of varieties like car cleaner ones and spray ones. I'm guessing anything of a gallon size would be good for a whole army.

I'm using simple green right now to strip the paint of some of my models

or if you run a kitchen like me you can order kitchen kleener(btw that is spelled right) with is about 80 bucks a gallon from cbi(double that price if you get it from sysco) it is a highly concentrated degreaser that is made for removing and cleaning grease traps and hood vents.
i used it to strip some models off ebay that was just horrible.i mean they had about 6 thick coats of spray paint and the stuff removed it to brand new plastic in 30 mins but careful you don't get it on your skin,it dryed out and broke my skin till it was bleeding with in 5 minutes and i have thick skin where regular degresser and acitone wount even dry mine out so if you use it bee very careful.

I'd like to report that I went to go buy Simple Green and it was $16.99 for the gallon so I got Purple Power for $5.99 instead. I left some plastics in there for 10 hours and I used hot water and a hard brush, came out like butter. 12 more are in there for when I wake up tomorrow.

purple power is the generic stuff
works great though

Where can I get this "purple power"? Wal-mart, Home Depot, K-mart??

Just spilled a paint pot on my venerable dread. Spent over five hours on it. Oh well, time for simple green.

That's not spilled paint, that's the SPILLED BLOOD OF WICKED XENOS.
