Removing Paint - Which Easy Off?

[LAV25]

Got a painted hardbody (Clod) that I want to strip of the paint. I've been doing my reading, but the only Easy Off Oven Cleaner available locally (Japan) is this stuff:



The "fume free" sounds like it's a different formula, has anybody used this particular type to strip a hardbody? Does it work?

Thanks in advance

i usually use gasoline to remove the hard body paint, and if that dont work, then i use Aircraft paint stripper. Works like magic, if you do use it though, dont use too much of it, because it does melt through plastic

That is not the kind you want. You want the yellow can

Or, just as good and half the cost:

Thanks guys, that's what I was afraid of. The import store only sells the no fumes lemony stuff, guess I'll have to look around a bit for other options (I know I'd melt the body using gasoline!)

The mostly yellow easy of, the best is the lemon scented (honest). Be careful when using easy off as it makes the plastic more brittle. I'm not sure how much it affects thick RC bodies but I use to use this for model cars and the thinner plastic would get really brittle and actually crack sometimes. Needless to say I started resorting to old school methods like sanding

Brake fluid works great, I've used it for years on model trains and Tamiya hard bodies. Find a disposable oven pan that will hold the body and add enough brake fluid to submerge half of the body at a time.
