Removing Paint on Athearn 40-2

[BAD]

Well I have used brake fluid a few times but there always seems to be some left over paint, so I was wondering if anyone uses anything that works better. Thanks.

91% Isopropyl Alcohol is very good.

I start with Orignal pine-sol, then switch to 91% Isopropyl.

91% Isopropyl Alcohol is very good.

where is the best place to get this

your local drug store or Wally World has it. It's a household item usually up by the pharmacy items.

Be advised that once opened, it will start to absorb moisture from the surrounding air (especially if it's humid), so it'll eventually become something less than 91%.

Interesting... I've been using the same 2 bottles of 91% for about a year now, with no problems.

I doubt that absorbing moisture will cause it to not work well. I'm just saying that when the bottle is opened to the air, it won't be 91% any longer.
