Easy-Off oven cleaner should strip the paint off of a car body. I have heard that it works great for stripping the chrome off of plastic.

The absolute BEST paint & chrome stripper...
is Pine-Sol! Just buy some lemon or pine scented (NOT the anti-bacterial- the regular stuff) for about $2 and forget about it!.
It works on 90% of the paints out there, and doesn't harm 99% of the plastics either. Works awesome at stripping chrome from plastic also.
The best thing is that it won't burn your skin or blind you if you get it in your eyes!
Did I say it is really cheap?
FYI,
John

Does it really work that well? Like, I could sit my wheels and bodies in it overnight and the plastic would be A-OK?
Cuz if this is true, then I'm totally repainting my shen with its stupid initation Spoon blue and yellow paint.

Yes shocon2k, It works that good! I have been using Pine-Sol for years for my model car paint stripping.
I was able to strip the chrome from my clone Rally Racers' wheels tonite in about an hour- with ZERO scrubbing! I now have a very cool set of black wheels on my RR (black is the color of the base plastic.
On a side note, if you do anything with the Johnny Lightning series of slot car bodys for Tjet or AFX slot cars, Pine-Sol is the one of the only products that will remove the tuff factory paint.

John -
If I have a clear body that I painted...can I soak it in Pine-Sol overnight and the paint will be removed and then I will have a CLEAR body underneath? or does the paint lift off and leave a cloudy body underneath?

ib311 : I don't think you will have a problem at all. I have left parts in PineSol for days without a problem. Clear parts included.
But, I always suggest testing on a small part first.

You have to use a base primer and then the acrylic paint and then a top coat sealer. Kind of a PIA if you ask me
Just stick with enamels...you can't go wrong and you can just hit the brush right to the surface without any rub off. Just be careful you don't get fingerprints in the paint.

What if you already primed it with the factory paint? is it better to remove factory paint then prime, then paint....?
