How to remove paint from plastic model, easy model paint stripping with best remover VMS Clean Slate

[@johnathan133]

This stuff is truly amazing. I always have a few bottles in case a paint job goes south. The only thing I wish is that you sold it in larger bottles.

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot Jonathan! Your support is much appreciated!

Thanks a lot for your comment and support for the channel, this will definitely do the trick! Chris

After the paint is removed (or to a point that is sufficient) should the model or figure be washed over soaked in water after using Clean Slate?

[@Vmssupplies]

Hello, Yes you should rinse the model with water to make sure the remover and tiny paint chunks are gone.

@@Vmssupplies thank you for the reply. I’ll be getting a bottle of Clean Slate

Hi I know comments are from a year ago. I just came across this solution. Will it remove latex paint on plastic wall stencil. Without damaging or melting the plastic that was used to make the stencil ?

[@Vmssupplies]

It depends on what the stencil is made of. This is OK for 90% plastics out there so chances are good it will only melt acrylic plastic since it was made to remove acrylic paints. Polystrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE), polycarbonate (PC), PVC are fine to strip and these are the most common materials.

Hi what is the disposal procedure for this product.

[@Vmssupplies]

Hi John, good question. You simply pour it down the drain and it biodegrades, it 's not highly toxic for water organisms and water readily neutralises it. So if the fluid gest on the floor on table you just pour some water over and wipe it. But it gets better, you can reuse it till it loses potency, simply stain the fluid after stripping to get rid of paint flakes, and it can be reused. Once you notice the potency is too low to properly strip you can then dispose of it. Chris

@@Vmssupplies Thanks for the disposal information. Further to this; is it possible to reuse the solution if you filter out the paint particles? For larger pieces you may have to go through a full bottle (or more) and it's expensive to buy in the UK (~£12 a bottle + postage costs) so it would be good if it could be reused.

[@Vmssupplies]

Yes you may use a strainer and as long as the fluid retains solvency power you can use it. :) Chris

Superb product used a few times and omg what a brilliant item

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks James! Glad to hear it worked for you! Happy modelling, Chris

[@ScaleModelAdventures]

It's really a good product, I spread this with my brushes and I leave it for about 30 min there, it takes off about 80% of the paint. I will try with softer brushes if they help the efficiency of this product. I put this in a spray bottle, but I regretted, it wasn't useful. Maybe a sponge will do the trick, but I'll see

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your comment, glad the product worked out for you! Chris

I've just used this product for the first time (ultra). Model is a Tamiya car body with a few layers of Vallejo water based, Tamiya acrylic and humbrol enamel. Compounded errors. Time to start again. Paint began to peel very quickly. I haven't soaked it but have gingerly applied product with a paint brush. Vallejo base coat and primer left which I will try again. My observation so far is that it is working but I wouldn't recommend this product for children. If you can, apply product outdoors with plenty of ventilation. Wear a respirator minimum P2 and gloves resistant to solvents. I began applying this indoors without a mask and the smell quickly took hold of me making me feel a little dizzy.

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot for your extensive feedback, happy to hear the prduct worked. To all modelers out there: Please always read the label - we advise to use product outdoors or in a well ventilated area and list all precautions/health hazards on the bottle.

I've used qit and it's AMAZING. I should have shown it on a video. 👍👍👍 in fact I haven't use any of his products that haven't been amazing. 👍 happy modeling God bless.

[@Vmssupplies]

Thanks a lot Clayton, it's modelers like you that keep us going! Chris

[@murray871]

Does it strip rattle-can varnishes or floor gloss coats as well?

[@Vmssupplies]

Hello, Clean Slate 2.0 will remove any acrylic product no matter the container or make and Clean Slate Ultra will remove both enamels and acrylics. When in doubt use Ultra as it has broader working spectrum. Thanks a lot for commenting! Chris

[@TheLaughingBrexiteer]

have you tried this on lacquers like MRP?

[@Vmssupplies]

With paints that have strong solvent in them there is this issue where paint reacts with plastic and some paint particles get integrated with the plastic, so stripping is harder. We haven't tested with MRP but Ultra should cope, coped with some nasty Humbrols and even Revells which are very hard to remove.

[@johnathan133]

The ultra 3.0 will strip MRP.

Where can you buy it?

[@enricodelp7732]

Can I use this to remove Mr hobby mr Finishing surfacer 1500?

[@Vmssupplies]

Yes, it should work OK.

[@charleshenderson9578]

Now that was pretty cool. In away it strips off.

[@Vmssupplies]

Cheers Charles, glad you liked it!

[@MaximusJohal]

Thanks Dude!

[@Vmssupplies]

You got it!

[@MattR58]

Will it strip chrome parts

[@Vmssupplies]

If you mean plastic parts with chrome coating, then we haven't checked sorry, but it should work OK. You can strip paint off of metal no problem though.

[@Pool1956]

Tried to used IPA, Dettol and oven cleaner, wasting my time like a chump, after watching videos by some kids posing for modellers...There is no contest, Clean Slate does the job in minutes, IPA needed 2 days and the paint still wouldn't fully budge, same with Dettol, oven cleaner even worse. Guys you must try this, it's pure gold and well worth the money and you can reuse it!

[@Vmssupplies]

Very happy to hear that! Happy modelling!

[@RKdaemion666]

Don't you need gloves for this? wow! #health #?

[@Vmssupplies]

Good point Rene, Clean Slate 2.0 not so much it's quite mild. Clean Slate 3.0 Ultra may give some skin irritation. So gloves are always a good idea. Don't worry products are clearly labelled and all health hazards are mentioned there. :) Chris
