| taking paint of plexi? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| struby:
ok, so i got impatient in the painting of my plexi and put the second coat on too fast, the paint is on the back side of the plexi, so anyway, it got this crumbly ripple effect in spots that wend through the first layer and is visible from the top, so there is like ripply spots on the black nice plexi i made, is there any good way to get paint off of plexiglass? |
| leapinlew:
Depends on the paint - but I used paint stripper and it didn't hurt my plexi at all. |
| struby:
it is rustoleum gloss black and maybe a little krylon semi flat, what is paint stripper, and can anyone else back him up that this won't hurt plexi, or anything else. Or any other products or ideas? |

Be very very carefull choosing a product to strip your paint with. I don't know what product to suggest but I have a definite one to avoid, however I won't know it's name until I go to work tomorrow. If you use the wrong product it will soften and haze your plexi. I choose poorly and my results are shown in my thread Here I will try to remember to check the label and report back, I do know that it warned about the possibility of softening the plastic and I did too small of too quick of a test, deemed it good and set about potentially wrecking my CP. On the bright side mine ended up OK, but not shiny. |

DO NOT USE Zip Strip original formula. In general I would simply suggest read the product uses on the container and then do a test and leave it on for a while before deciding if it is safe. I screwed mine up but I asked for it by ignoring the label and doing a quick test. Good Luck. |
