Use the \'Search\' function at the top of the screen - you\'ll get lots of ideas!

I personally use either cellulose thinners or more recently Polycell super strength paint stripper. It\'s the dogs gonads, but don\'t put any plastic in there!

I hear Simple Green is good, as is Dettol apparently. Others swear by brake fluid. Certainly strips paint off cars

if they are metal i use acetone. if not i use simplegreen. both require a little scrubbing. i use an old toothbrush.

I have herd sooo many things that people can use to strip a mini.
1. acetone
2. simple green
3. brake oil
4. the stuff that you use to clean your oven with
5. pinesole
.... i know theres more, but at the moment i cant think of the others

I let the mini sit in Simple Green for a day or 2 and the scrub with an old toothbrush under hot water. Some colors are harder to get off than other. Black primer can be a bitch to strip.

hi

if im stripping metal minis, i use all purpose nitro mors paint stripper by henkel just brush it on, leave for 10 minutes and then apply a second coat, leave for 5 mins then wash off under warm/hot water with a toothbrush...
reapeat as nessacary, i also use a demel multitool and a brass brush to polish up the mini afterwards, though if is a new brush grind it down a bit on some metal first and do it lightly on the mini as to not grind off detail

plastic minis leave them in brakefluid for a while, couple of days, and then brush off with toothbrush,

DONT use nitromors on plasic! unless you want the radioactive meltdown look!

You must first ask yourself:
\"why am I stripping this mini\"

I have found in most cases the prior paint was not too thick so I could just paint over it.
