To continue…. Pic 6 is were I left off in my last post. Pic 7 now the two bus parts have been turned round so the soda can work in the rear of the items. Pic 8 & 9 shows the bus parts 99% clear of paint. Pic 10 The next step is to give them a really good wash in warm soapy water to remove any caustic soda. Any remaining paint be removed with a cocktail stick shaped to a wedge on one end. I hope some of you find this interesting. A reminder, this method is the quickest way to remove paint of any type from diecast items. Do not use it on plastic or resin items.
