My paint job...
 
Can anyone help me? this past weekend, I stayed at my friends house, and we where playing with our Xmods, and then it led up to a demolition derby. So my orange car looks like a orange Civic with black scrathes and an ugly paint job. Can any tell me how to take off the paint so i can repaint it?

You can take off paint by either sanding it or soaking it in substances such as brake fluids.

i think break fluid messes up the blastic. it makes it more brittal(if possible lol).

what is the safest way of taking off paint from the car?

i would just sand it and use a paint stripper. i would also recomend not soaking the whole body in it. just rub it on wait and rub off.

Okay sandpaper works really well, but I have one thing to add DO NOT use fine sandpaper to start...:eek: I used med sandpaper and it saved me quite a bit of time and effort. (I guess i am dumb:p ) I also heard that paint stippers can weaken the plastic....but i am not too sure....
