Removing Paint Tips?
Re: Removing Paint Tips?
I use oven cleaner (various brands including Easy Off and grocery store generic brands) since I was a kid stripping car models for repainting. Seems to work on most plastic paints except Heng Long's dark green on their grey with green stripes Tiger I. Use the regular oven cleaner (not the odor free crap), let it sit for an hour or more in the kitchen sink then wash off with hot water. I usually cover the sink with saran wrap to keep the fumes in. The longer the better within reason- if you leave it long enough that the oven cleaner dries, respray and let sit for an hour. I've left it overnight with a respray in the morning- worked great! Then wash the plastic clean with dish soap and a toothbrush to get in the cracks.

(the dark green did eventually come off after about three doses)
