DOT 3 brake fluid is what I use to remove the paint. Hres a vid, RC Lexan Paint Removal -- Proline How to Paint series - YouTube |

Does the brake fluid trick work on the stock wraith panels? or do I have to sand it down?

Pull off stickers, then a fine scotch sad with soap to de grease. Wash then paint.

To be honest I just used some regular spray paint. It came out pretty good.

flat black works best on exterior, or Krylon plkastic paint. As far as removing the paint goes, either DOT 4 (not 3) brake fluid or Castrol Purple clean. The brake fluid works best. Either way, good luck removing any stock paint job.
