I have tied ELO from testors and thats good for all paint types, but it...kinda sucks as the paint gets gooey and become a sticky gum. Not the best solution.
Oven cleaner works great if you like dying young and having you skin blister and knuckles crack open like they were stabbed by a giant phillips screwdriver (i wish i had photos..ouch)
Alcohol and windex are good on wet paint and weak on dry.
recently I cana cross a post about removing acrylic paint effortlessly and safely.
Oxyclean
Any knock off will do as well. Get a tub (I use the large plastic ice cream tubs from generic ice cream at Wal-mart (has a nice lid to to keep the damn cats from killing themselves of getting an enema.
I had to try it as I had a 21st jagdtiger that I fudged my camo attempt with too much salt weathering.
So here are the pics as I did my first attempt ever. It worked FAST, didn't harm plastic AT all, came off with a firm toothbrush or with long soaks sloughed off on its own. I did another tank this week and left it in for 4 days, it took off some of the enamel primer, but for the most part all types of paint except Acrylic are immune to the effects. I would think a varnish coating would be obliterated as the acrylic underneath dissolved, but undercoats or even the original 21st century paint job stayed put.
Here is my photo documentary of oxyclean at work, this was the first run and it soaked for maybe an hour. WORKS GREAT!
paint comes off in dry (well wet) strips and chips...not goop or sticky. A sandy or powdery sludge is all you will get. Very good on getting it ALL off and hands down best paint removal substance I have found, especially in speed and safety
