Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is common knowledge but i found a way to remove paint from clear plastic without fogging or melting it. I just brushed on some Nitro fuel (from hobby shop) and it rubbed off really easy. I'm not sure what would happen if you left it to soak in nitro fuel but there's no need to really. This is ace for me cos my earlier paintwork was quite shabby so I can restore all the windows and clear parts. I'm not sure if it removes glue marks, probably not but I found using a dremel with a polishing tool can remove that. But only set on a low speed or it melts the plastic.

Please don't try either if your sceptical because I don't wanna be blamed if something goes wrong :)

Here's some pics:

I use really fine wet and dry, 12,000 grit, then dunk it in Future. Works wonders
