Using brake fluid to remove paint?

[nachoman]

Well, I placed the loco's body into a plastic bag containing the 99% rubbing alcohol. Now, some 12 hours later, not much seems to be happening as the green paint is still intact.

I realize I'm supposed to allowtwo days but if I don't notice any improvement tomorrow, I think I should try the brake fluid?

Thanks,
Rob

Try rubbing it with your finger to see if the paint is loose. If it isn't at least loose after a day, then whatever paint is on there won't dissolve with alcohol. If it is soft and some paint rubs off on your finger, try scrubbing with an old toothbrush to remove whatever you can, and place it back in the bag to soak for longer. I would be tempted to try pine-sol next if you have some around (as it was suggested). Do you know what brand of paint is on there? The only reason not to try brake fluid is it may destroy the plastic.
