| Factory paint removal
I have a Honcho and would like to change the body color will the Dot 3/4 brake fluid take the paint off. Some of the factory paint can be hard to remove, or do you have a better way? Thanks J |

Well I managed to get the gray paint ( it is a Honcho body ) off using Dot 4 brake fluid. Would I do it again , only if it was a body that wasn't avalible for purchase. Damn it was a pain. I let the body soaked really good but the paint wouldn't come off easy. Had another body the was painted with a spray can and it came off pretty easy. So thats my report, you can do it not sure I would do it again . J. |

Anybody ever tried buffing out some of the less severe scratches on a lexan body?

Im not too sure what paint Axial uses or there process, all I know is it is some tough stuff, I would imagine that it is the same as the green, I have a HPI rubicon body that is even tougher paint, the nitro doesnt even work on that... and it practically works on most everything....
