I've just read about Carson Paintkiller. It seems to be a good product.

There's plenty of information here in the forums, and it depends on what body you have.

For hard, injection moulded bodies then either soaking it in brake fluid or using a caustic oven cleaner will remove the paint, see here for more info. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34577 and http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45219

If it is a clear polycarbonate body then anything that will strip paint from hard bodies will damage the polycarbonate. The only product most would recommend for polycarbonate shells is nitro fuel, everything else can harm the body. More details of whta you need here. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?...mp;hl=stripping

Hi, Everyone

There has been described several methods. Since not so long it is a special solution available from CARSON called "paint killer". This liquid should remove all Tamiya paints. I didnt have experience with this liquid but according to some testers it works fine and without any damage to the body.
