[euphoricgear]

hi just wanted to repaint my hilux body and was wondering what i can do to strip the paint off of it. can i used paint thinner? would that melt the hard plastic body or should i just use sand paper?

thanks in advance

There is a citrus based called Citreaze(sp), that would probably work really well. I have used it on various polymers and it has done nothing to the plastics.

I've stripped a few hard bodies with Easy-Off (yellow top). works quite well, may require a couple applications depending on the piants used.
It won't harm the plastic (I've done both styrene and ABS bodies with it)

Chameleon Stripper its made just for styrene and plastic paint removal. It works very well

Automotive brake fluid(DOT3) stripped the paint off my Blackfoot extreme body without harming it. If you do try brake fluid, though, wear gloves(it will dry out your hands), use in a well ventilated area(very strong smell), and don't use on chrome or transparent parts(it will fog them).

brake fluid(DOT3) and easy oof with the yellow top are the best ways i have found use a trashbag to put the body in and put it in the sun also wear gloves and be patient.
