I got a hard line body from a friend, but the paint is chipping away bad. I'm sure if I continue to scratch the paint it will eventually come off.

Is there any way to remove the paint faster with out oxidizing the body?

Thanks,

Haven't tried yet on Lexan, but this stuff does wonders on styrene!

Stripped a couple chrome trees in 5 minutes and stripped paint and primer in about 24 hours!

Brake fluid is suppose to work i have personally never tried it but seems like alot of work.

Just be careful, purple power and brake fluid will eat your hands up. Gloves are highly recommended.
