My BLI AC6000’s I want to repaint them to a different road color scheme and name. What is the best paint remover that won’t ruin the plastic shell.
91% alcohol is what I’d use.
I’ve had a lot of luck with Scalecoat II Paint Remover. Alcohol will work, but it takes 24 hours of soaking and can leave the plastic hazed. The SCII Paint Remover works in about a hour and leaves the plastic clean.
Nick,
Just curious. Which road name will you be repainting your BLI unit to?
Where can I purchase SCII

According to Spookshow’s locomotive encyclopedia, BLI’s paint is pretty much impossible to remove without damaging the shell. His answer was to simply paint over it.
