Sorry to jump on in here, but I've made a hash out of the painting of a car body (and have compounded errors) and I just want to totally and safely strip it all back. What to use in Oz? The model has lately Humbrol enamel, before that Tamiya acrylic and before that, well I just don't want to say. I don't want to try brake fluid particularly and a lot of the American videos use products we don't seem to have in Oz. I'm thinking of graffiti -go. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks.
Hi John, sounds like you have a big mess on your hands! If it's a diecast body, just use regular paint stripper. But if it's plastic/styrene, all those different types of paint are a problem I've not encountered before. I'm not familiar with Graffiti-Go, so no idea if that will harm plastic. I've not used the brake fluid method either, but perhaps in this case it will be the best way? Or could it be easier to just scrap this one and buy another kit?
@@wixy500 thank you for your reply. It's a plastic Tamiya kit and I admit that I've had some dark thoughts. I'd rather not bin it. Supposedly Graffiti-Go is plastic friendly. If I do persevere I might spend more on paint stripper than on another model. Thanks anyway. At best it's a learning curve.
Depends on the paint you use and how clogged up they are. Why not try washing first, you have nothing to lose if you're planning on replacing them. I replace the front cloth often.

Great vid, as usual!❤
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed :)
Great video I have the same booth has you.. one tip I put cling wrap around the lights to stop over spray
Thanks. Yeah, cling wrap would work too, and it's cheap!

@@wixy500 Yeah will give it a go but also need to get some replacements to quickly switch them out, found aquarium filters locally, will try that.
