What can I use to remove the paint?
 

I'm trying to clear out my headlight paint for some lights.

thanks

i use destilled alcohal on a q-tip or rag, that works good for me!


PEACE OUT :D

i usally use some goo-gone with a q-tip.....GOO GONE is the stuff

Could I put this stuff in a cup and then put my Bit Char-G body in that cup?
Or should I paint over the white?

about the goo-gone, i have no idea if you should leave your car in the cup. you should just get a paper towel and dab it with some goo-gone and start rubbing. this should take it out.

Ok, I'll try that...
Thanks...I'll hopefully post pics when I get it painted.....
As soon as it arrives...:D

there's a painting mod at RCmod.com explaining what you can use to remove paints and how to paint and everything else. hope it helps.

Ok....but what do you use for romal Bit Char-G Bodies?
I don't want my body to melt!:rolleyes:

I usd a nail polish remover.

If possible...
 

with a clone shell, the paint jobs are usually not as good and can be taken off easily without much difficulty.

For bits and microsizers the paintjob is sealed in that really shiny plastic coating so you might need something better to take it off. My friend used an alcohol bath which left his red lancer pink and gave it a sizable crack down the side.

I personally used Pine-sol with shenqiwei bodies, but when I used it with a bit the body melted. Some people say when you use pine-sol you MUST have your hands covered because a little of your hand oil + the pine-sol will dissolve the plastic shell.

So use gloves.

Some people have recommended pine-sol, alcohol, oven cleaner, goo gone, nail polish remover

I have tried:
pine-sol: works really well but possibility of having chemical reaction and melting your shell
alcohol: kinda difficult but works, too much can leave cracks in shell
nail polish remover (acetone): left it in a cup of nail polish remover over night and the next night the shell dissolved...

and other people say just paint over the original paint job.

I don't know if that's possible if you're removing the paint that is covering the lights.

I used a cotton swab and nail polish remover. I just dipped an end of the cotton swab, q-tip, and rubbed it against the paint over the lights. The paint is actually under the body. It took me about 5 mins.

I haven't tried to remove the paint on the outer body though. I wouldn't thinik you would have to leave in soaked in nail polish remover overnight.
