Isopropanol for stripping, but note that unless the coat is not too thick you can simply over paint or re prime with the desired colored. It worked for my Rhinos that initially were mcrag blue, then the fang and when I get pissed repainted them with mister hobby.

I found Biostrip 20 to be pretty good when I stripped a land raider. It has the consistency of yoghurt, and you smear it on rather than soaking the mini in a tub. That was key for me, as filling a land raider sized tub with dettol (the UK equivalent of simple green) was prohibitively expensive. You then gently scrub it off about an hour or two later. It worked really well, especially considering that the guy I bought the land raider off seemed to have applied the previous paint job with a trowel.

This is really interesting. How are you scrubbing? Knife or remove it with a brush? Also is this for tanks only or works on infantry as well?
