paint stripper, its about Ł6 for a big metal tin full of it, dab it on with an old paintbrush and the paint shrivels up, rinse off after about 10 mins, leaves you with the bare metal, just make sure you dont leave any plastic bits on like i did!

Thanks Ive got an EsCos road and wrc road car I want to do. That will help as the paint on the yellow one I did was too thick.

just thought i would put a post up as i have not been on for a while.
been really busy building mk1 estates for a guy in germany 5 in total .
they will be on ebay de next week.
will be interesting to see what they go for as he has paid top money for them and i doubt he will get much more than he paid for them..lol
will get some pics up as soon as i get my desktop back up and running as i have had 2 new hardrives fitted as it couldnt keep up with all the junk i have on there so i am using my sons laptop at the mo!
some great modding projects on here at the moment guys , keep up the good work!
