Testors Easy Lift Off
#1
Ok here is a question that I need answered before I place an order. Has anyone ever used the Testors Easy Lift Off Paint & Decal Remover? I need to remove paint off two of my engines so I can get them ready for paint. My other engines I didn't have to remove the paint because the paint covered everything up. The two shells I have didn't work out as planned and you can see the lettering and decals. I know some have used brake fluid and other things but I need something that wont damage the shell. 

Thank You
Matt

my go to paint stripper is potassium hydroxide. The only cars i found it harmful to were some early Tyco ones but whatever you decide on test it on a surface that is hidden first.

Matt,

I"m currently using it to strip several ho trailers. It removed most of the paint on the models, but have to go over the areas around the ribs. Just brush it on and wait for the paint to start to
crinkle up, then using an old toothbrush scrub away the paint. You may not want to do this on your kitchen table, the stuff splatters when brushing it off.
