removing paint from nylon parts?

I did some searching, but didn't find anything. I just purchased a CE edition gold pan and someone painted alot of the nylon. It is still in good condition, just looks horrible. Can these be soaked in Super Clean or brake fluid like styrene to strip them?

If it isn't broke, I haven't driven it yet.

Thanks! I must have searched in German.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Has this been covered before? I think so but can't find the thread. I remember someone had a chassis covered in paint and managed to remove the paint without damaging the anodizing.

I would like to do the same and was wondering what the...

Thanks guys I'll look into all those things. I had been using an oven cleaner for the shock towers and plastic parts but it'd be good to have a product that does everything including aluminium.

is there a way too remove the old paint from a white part? Someone painted the bumper black on the Rad2 I just bought.

Last post

Thanks for the info. I will try the brake fluid since I have some in the shed. I wasn't thinking of it since it destroys lexan so badly.

Please help me figure out how to get the paint off of this body without destroying it in the process. Painted on inside.

P.S. Is this an original RC10 body?

Last post

Trying simple green now...I am doubtful.

Can anyone else attest to simple green removing paint?

I've tried nitro fuel too. If DOT3 brake fluid won't remove it, nitro fuel won't even touch it. :(

Thanks for mentioning that about Pactra paint by the way, good to know.

And I'll post my nitro fuel results on the 18-19 yr old paint.
