Default Removing stock paint on a lexan body?

Anybody know what kind of paint axial out on the power wagon body and how to get it off without damaging the lexan? Tried dot 3 and 4 brake fluid for a day and a half and have made abysmal progress.

Its printed on to the plastic before the body is formed and nearly impossible to remove. Make peace with the color and move on with your life.

Gotta find someone that sells the sticker decals for the power wagon first (if someone does)

Until it comes out in kit form, you're out of luck.

I have had some success using old nitro fuel to get the bulk off. Then brake fluid. Followed by soap and water

I use nitro also to get pre printed bodies cleared....usually etches a haze in it though...so if you want clear windows..you needa be careful or think of something else.

Bout only thing nitro is good for
