Removing old Paint

[mongoose1983]

Trouble is that is a Mud Blaster shell, you can still get them brand new. How much did the brake fluid cost you? I suspect the combined cost of the brake fluid (which cannot be used form a previously opened container) and 2nd hand shell was more than a new one. Had it been an original Brat body its a different situation.

Just my view.

Also its many years since I used to do up cars but from what I can remember one kind of brake fluid attacked paint but was replaced by a better type that not only did not attack paint but was less hygroscopic, not sure but i think the former was Dot 3 and the latter dot 4 or 5. I presume Dot 3 is the stuff you need and you can still get hold of it.

Hi mate,

Believe me. I would not spend a single dollar in nonsense since my budget is extremely limited.

Have a look at the bottle of fluid I used to do both, the Brat and the FAV (the story is all in the threads I linked previously). And I did not even bought it, my buddy gave it to me!
