I've just sprayed a model using plasti-kite aerosol spray instead of waiting till it was completely dry I moved it and guess wot I dropped it so now I've got carpet fluff and its badly marked in places wot can I use to strip the paint off or is it just fit for the bin any advice would be fearfully cheers

I don't know that paint but you need to find a solvent that will shift it. I'd suggest white spirits or methylated spirits to start with. Some acrylics come off nicely with isopropyl alcohol or a DILUTE ammonia solution. If you are really stuck (no pun intended) you can put the model in a freezer bag overnight with a good coating of oven cleaner. This one should be a last resort.

if the paint is acrylic you can use oxi clean to totally strip it off. just put some oxi clean in a bucket (or however big of a container you need) with warm water. let the parts sit for about 5 minutes then run them under warm water to wipe it all off. you're back to the original plastic at that point. i've used that method a couple times now and haven't had any problems.
but it only works on acrylic paints.Comment

Plasti-Cote. Yucks. I used that on my second model about Christmas time.
Still tacky after 4 days. Came to the conclusion it did not like plastic models. Must have a solvent which is not compatible.
Where did that Hurricane get to yes the bin. So did the Plasti-Cote with a good number of choice phrases. Also kicked the bin. Fury has no limits !
Great lesson use the manufacturer of the paint you are using for all coats to be applied.
