I wish WE could get that remover over here, but we can't get that brand. I wonder if there is a certain step by step process you use with it. Do you leave it on certain amount of time, put it on an old T-shirt and then throw it over the body like Mongoose does with brake fluid??? I only ask since one of my Graffiti removers' bottle looks just like your bottle, but no 'LIFT OFF' branded into the bottle.

Depending on the paint, different techniques work best. On this model, I simply sprayed the remover on, let it sit 5 minutes, then used an old tooth brush to gently remove the paint. This removed 90% of the paint. I then sprayed more stripper on the model, let it sit 5 minutes, and literally wiped the remaining paint off. This particular paint job was very easy to strip, Testors spray paint, no primer. Other paint/primer combinations are far harder to remove.

Oh, NOW you tell us.
Thanks for the update, I agree, different paints take different approaches, just the hard part is never knowing what someone painted on a used shell you get off ebay.

Wait a minute, you are in Biloxi, how is it I can't find that graffiti remover, I better star looking at the smaller hardware stores.

I bought the paint stripper at Lowes, I think Home Depot carries it, too
