Stripping paint from Monokote.

(1/1)

Perry Rose:
Whatever the paint brand was, Krylon I think, it was stuck on. I tried lacquer thinner but nothing happened. I laid a soaked rag on the paint and still it didn't soften or bubble. I even roughed it up a bit and the thinner had no effect. Tape didn't peel it off and scraping was useless. At the auto parts store I got a spray can of  paint remover. After a couple layers of remover with little results I came upon the idea to cover the remover while it worked. I applied a layer of remover and placed a plastic newspaper bag over it and that really made quick work of the paint. It scraped off and thinner took care of the left over spots.

thanks for the info.   I would have tried acetone first.   H^^

Dave Hull:
Interesting! The stripper didn't etch the MonoKote? What kind of stripper was it?
