Title: Silk screen removal?
Post by: Ladder72 on August 11, 2007, 10:55:28 PM
Hello everyone. I am looking for some help with removing the lettering/stripping from some of my passenger cars. I have repainted them and will be applying new decals for my sons new railroad. They are all numbered after his birth stats. ie: time, date, weight, length etc. MY problem comes with the loco/tender. I love the paint just as it is but need to remove the RGS silk screening. Is there a way, no matter how tedious, to do this without damage to Bachmanns beautiful paint? Thanks for any and all input. Trent

Dear Ladder,
I have had good results with Scalecote's paint remover, as well as with a product called "Oops!", available at your paint store.
Have fun!

Which "Oops" are you using, Bach-Man?  The multipurpose one?  And ... the Q-tip treatment, like laquer thinner, or another method?

Hey, Matt-
I didn't know there were multiple "Oops", at least not in paint removers...
I use a paper towel, and a firm circular motion...
Have fumn!
