Title: Fueltank paint removal
Post by: dkupf on April 29, 2009, 07:45:36 pm

I have a plastic fuel tank that has been painted with adhesive primer and enamel paint  :( What I would like to know is how I get the paint off so I can remove the stickers they painted over  ::) Darcy #674

ive used it on polyethyene plastics with no problems. That is oen of the most chemical resistant plastics you can get.

also you can use steelwool soaked in paint thinners. Thats what i use on plasrtics that you cant use paint stripper on.
