I researched this previously and most people say brake fluid ( dot 3). Just keep wetting, letting it soak ands wiping. Doesn't sound quick, but doesn't ruin the body either.

Yes I've tried this to (the I suck thing) then Chris k showed me his truck body that was soaking in purple power cleaner, dang thing was clean as new. So I tried it and nothing:flipoff: soaked it for a week ,still nothing:mrgreen: then I used a blow touch on it and the paint just dripped off the melted plastic:lmao::lmao: so I got a new body, job done"thumbsup"
 
Corey, that's looking good brother!!

Thanks. Its coming out better than I thought. Still gotta figure out how to mount it, and weather or not im gonna use wood or metal for the floor. Also gotta figure out if im gonna try to glue in a back for the cab or fab up some sheetmetal off the flatbed to cover up the hole

:lmao::lmao:

why not just paint the outside? i use duplicolor self etching primer,(any color) spray a few coats 2-3,, then take any color you want of regular old spray paint, i use duplicolor, its what i get from work for free,, and repeat the 2-3 coats,, works really good and it holds up on roll overs and everything,, it does scratch but it looks scale,,

the etching primer sticks to lexan and gives the paint something to bite into

We gave up on cable and satellite tv almost 5 years ago, don't miss it a bit, and the world seem to be a better place to. Sure I miss a lot of news and get behind on current events but when I want do know something I just hold back on the trail until Rockin Gayth catches up or yell back to him:lmao: of course he doesn't know anything anyway. :lmao:
 
Thinking about giving up on cable my self getting expensive every year . Netflix is also another option $8 amonth all tv shows are prerecorded and a bunch of movies
