Anybody strip the black paint off of tracks..curious as to best method. Paint stripper, burned off with a torch?

The 'paint' is actually a low temperature powder coating - very tough, ordinary paint strippers are useless . There are products available that will do it but many are hazardous / caustic / acidic and can dissolve the metal too ! Burning it off will probably damage them as well . You can search the web & You tube for ' stripping powder coat ' Good luck ! B.

A lot of it will wear off with use. Why don't you like the black? I've had good luck spraying them with flat black for sets that i thought were too glossy.

Just like the raw metal..then patina it ...but I think I will use Ammo Mig track wash to give it a weathered brown look.

Hi Save your money ,just find a big muddy puddle and drive it though it instant weathering just let it dry and keep doing it till they are to your liking , had some of my tracks on for years never clean them ,the longer you do it the better they look.

That's a good tip, Jake. I'll remember that one. I wonder if it would take the paint off a stock painted tank commander? You know, Ol' Googly Eyes.

That product got me to check out this stuff..
may try it on some tracks someday..seems
much less nasty then much of the stuff out there to use.
