I just put one light coat on the body and realized I forgot the window masks is there anything that will take the paint off?
Matt
 
Yes you can I tried almost everything then I found the thing that worked great. It is brakleen is what I used. I guess that any brake cleaner would work and it didnt hurt the windows a bit. I just wiped them with the brake cleaner well it took a little effort but not hard. Then I wiped them off with water to get the cleaner off. I already have 3 coats and it works great. Sorry for the post but I posted before I tried anything. Matt
 
dont use brake cleaner it will mess up the lexan,try some r/c fuel, I never personally done it but watched a buddy do it!it worked just left an oily residue on the windows,windex took it right off!;)
 
Paint remover usually removes paint just fine.
 
When my bro did that on his body he just used some R/C fuel and it came of nicely.With out damaging or fogging the Lexan.
 
Yes the brake cleaner didnt fog the windows either and it is a little cheaper the fuel. I will post some pics when I get it completed. Thanks Matt
 
If the spray was just a fine mist, denatured alcohol and alittle elbow grease can remove it.
 
Great post matt, u just answered a question I'm sure a lot of ppl have been wondering about, no post is a bad post, always something new to learn :)
