Custom mini z body.

[TB01 2NR]

I just got my new mini z sat. pretty cool only 139! It has the TT body which wasnt my first choice, but it was better than my other choice the Z-8, but for the price i cant complain. Anyways, I want to mount a static model body on the chassis, i found one were the width is perfect, and i can fix the length with a custom t-bar to make it longer. Anyways, I wanted to go get another kit of the same model i have because i wanted to repaint it, unfortunantly they were gone. So one to idea two. I plan to re-build the body. I have disassembled it. But how should I remove the paint? It is standard model body spray on paint, but with one problem. I polyurithaned the body. Should I just sand it off?

well i really jacked up my jag. xj220 body i asked my grandpa ( he has been building them for like 40 years) and he told me to spray it with oven cleaner and leave it for 5 mins. i went back 5 mins. later and the paint just like peeled off! also use some 250 grit sandpaper and steel whool. :p

Thanks, I read the same tip in a RC mag about re doing your old tamiya rc bodies. Its worked, and thanks for helping out man. Yeah i d be pretty upset if i screwed up a nice jag like that, lucky for you your grandpa helped out before you through it out.
