Depending the type of paint it is. Dot 3 Brake fluid can remove spray paint and poly carbonate paint without eating away at the plastic.

Nothing like having your own piece of terrain to play on! I started working on my own on a deserted dumping area at the local airport. The soil is perfect, just like the club track, completly private, tons of room and huge potential. Its mostly flat...

This Blackfoot body has seen better days. There were/are many layers of paint, the front corners both need repair and the front of the hood has a warp or melty spot. It will be a real challenge to bring it to a presentable state. Would you tackle it?

Here is proof for you that nitro (glo fuel) removes paint from lexan bodies. The Kyosho Datsun ute was only run a few times but the residue from those runs was left inside the body. It just fell off when I tried to clean it...the rest of the body is...

$10 earns a pass. From me.

Some wouldn't allow that for free. LOL

Anyway, nice find. Curious how this turns out. The MF1 has always been a nice truck. I know a guy who still races his and is competitive.
