Lee forwarded me a message he found on one of the Yahoo groups which was very positive about Chameleon paintstripper ( www.chameleonproductsonline.com/pages/350409/index.htm) This product seems to work on plastic as well as metal and resin without trouble. Is there anyone on this board that has any experience with this product ? |

Click on the pictures for more info on usage. Seems that there is two or more types of stripper made by Chameleon. |

I recently read an article about using Castrol Super Clean, available at major automotive supply houses. It raves about its' ability to strip paint from plastic without damage. For a look: www.bonediggers.com/1-3/strip/strip.html |

it sounds as if it would hurt resin though - are herpas and such made out of a styrene material?

The Herpa pieces I have stripped down, which actually have a type of ink on them and can be stripped with alcohol, are made of a styrene. Wiking also are a styrene, as are the Athearn and Roco which are the major manufacturers I would want to strip. The article doesn't mention the affects on resin. I use a lacquer thinner on resin with no ill affects to the models. On plastics I have been using brake fluid but I'm such an impatient cuss I'm always looking for the quickest way to do things.

I quit using brake fluid after it attacked a Monogram Mini-Exact. I always use Poly-S ELO and have never had a problem. Of course, I am also very patient.  Bill C. |
