Dot 4 brake fluid! The only real option that isn't a pain in the ass. Check out jang from ultimaterc.com doing it on you tube. |

You can also try automotive paint stripper. Tal-Strip works great and it is very fast (minutes) just dont get it on your skin. It burns!!!! I assume you are stripping a non-lexan body. Just try it on the underside to make sure it does not react with the plastic.

Brake fluid works great. It wont eat up the plastic and works well. I just put the body in brake fluid, leave it over night and pretty much just wash the paint off. Wash the body in Dawn dish soap afterwards and repaint!
