Awesome! My friend just informed me about use nitro fuel to remove paints off the body. I tried it then I told him that works really good! I am using Blue Thunder fuel of 10 percent. Here is some white painted on RC10B3 wing shown in this pic and you can see clear circle. That was white paint turned to clear. Thats will save your money to not buy another body. WOW.:cool:
Edit: Oops I post it without pic accidently.

on the down side though doesnt it have the potential to even melt and deform the shell though due 2 the chemicals in there?
Just wondering if not i have the perfect body to do that to.

Fuel is not going to mess it up. Fuel is best problem solution.:D

Well, fuel will do the trick with water-based paints such as faskolors, but with laquer paints I dont think it will work. However, you can heat it and use paint thinner to get it off. That might damage the body though...

Fuel will take off lacquer as long as it hasn't cured. You don't want to use thinner on the body since it will fog it. Some have had luck with 50/50 mix of thinner and alcohol, others have used brake fluid to remove paint. Generally, its too much work to remove paint from a body and its best to just buy a new one.
