Quick question. Does simple green all purpose cleaner
Remove paint from metal models?

~Dan

Yes, and plastic as well. But i haven't ever used it and from what i've read YMMV.

A quick browse of the Tutorials forum should give you more detail.

Works like a charm, however I prefer Super Clean, but Im not sure if you can find it over there.

Just remember it works better on water based paints better then enamels. It will strip enamels, but you'll need to leave it in for a good 12-24 hrs and really scrub it with a toothbrush. If you're just using GW paints, give it 4-8 hours and the stuff will just fall right off the model.

Since this thread is here, which is the active component on Simple Green that helps to strip the paint?

I'd like to get some local equivalents if possible.

I tried simple green with black citadel primer and most of it came off but not all of it after soaking for two days.

I need to find something that will strip the black primer off these plastic models better.
