I have been painting RC lids for a long time (at least 100 lids under my belt) and as a result have developed my skills pretty well. That said, I still manage once and awhile to get things screwed up beyond a simple cover up. Up until a couple months ago I always used EZ-Off oven cleaner in the yellow can to strip paint so I could start over.
Then one day I was at a buddies house and his delinquent kid had painted a colorful exploitative on his garage door after getting in some sort of trouble, who knows what. He was using a stripper I had never seen before. Its made by a company called MotsenBocker's and its called Lift Off Spray Paint Graffiti. It did the trick with no sign of the vandalism left behind. It is biodegradable and water based. He mentioned I should give it try on do-overs for RC lids.
Went to Home Depot and picked up a bottle. Man I gotta say, I will never use EZ-Off again. The stuff works great. No fumes and it won't eat your skin. Spray and wait a bit then wipe off with a paper towel. I have and old original Traxxass Stampede body that I got with my first RTR truck 9 years ago that I never used and was in perfect shape; It was prepainted so I thought there was no way this stuff would work. I was wrong. In half an hour I had a vintage stampede clear body. I also tried it on a recent purchase of a used Savage SS that had all the plastic housings painted a hideous purple with an undercoat of primer. Worked on that too..although it had to soak for about an hour to penetrate the paint and primer it did the trick.
Check it out.
