stripping shell

[HSPGuy2190]

is there a way of stripping the shell of paint ? sumhow ?

What ever you do dont use Breakleen. Learned the hard way on my first atempt.

There really isn't a way to strip the shell. It's probably better to get a new shell.

You can use brake fluid but it typically doesn't get every bit off. Like hamz said your better off getting a new 1. By the time you buy the fluid and invest the time it will probably work out cheaper for you anyway.

I just can't justify the hours required to strip a paint job vs. 25 to 30 bucks for a brand new lid.

Me either, unless its something rare or discontinued. Then it would have to be very near perfect.

I stripped a cut up Pro-Line Baja lid for my crawler, and with DOT4 (best) still took me almost 6 hours. I would not reccomend this process at all..

I agree with Killer and everyone else its not practical. I did it once to a Losi Baja lid that I bought from Randy before I found a couple of unpaited ones. Only about 97% of the paint came off which was fine as I'll just use a basher body. It did take many hours however most of which was just soaking with Dot 4....much less scrubbing than dot 3. If you can buy a new one I would go that route.
