BiggusDitchus 38 Posted October 27, 2002 I have just stripped the paint off my thundershot lexan bodyshell using nitro fuel.. it has left an oily residue which I tried to wash off with soapy water but it remains... How can I get this off? I think it is going to be important before I repaint it[] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
