E36 project?
This arrived yesterday and I am very happy with the condition for the price. My idea was to strip the paint and do a lookalike if my dads M3 but I feel a bit guilty now as these are like hens teeth at the moment. I is probably Tamiya paint whats the best way to strip this shell Oven cleaner, Dot 3 or just give it a cleen and leave as is?
Thanks for your help guys

Dont use brake fluid on lexan it eats through it if your not carefull i also believe oven cleaner is only for abs plastic shells .Not sure what is best but i am sure someone else will .

I used 20% nitro fuel on my 2001 Skyline TA04 with excellent results, it just requires patience.

Nitro fuel is supposed to be the hot trick for paint removal on lexan, but I haven't tried it. Also some companies make paint remover for lexan (Carson, LRP?).

Thank you so much guys. I think Nitro will be the obvious choice!

should I make a point of avoiding the windows with Nitro?

tamiya paints are made to resist nitro fuel.. If i were you i'd leave it this way. way to risky to try all kinds of chemicals. most leave white clouds and/or make the lexan very brittle

Leave as is for sure - (or send it to me
Love these cars !!

Oh Brother Tuff Bug~ I know how you feel~ If I have this Beemer I would do the same and just keep it like the way it is~ Judging from the work of the previous owner I think he did a great job on the shell~

I think I may keep as is and use as a classic runner
