this should be repeated again, shs's paint is actually automotive
paint formulated in the
prc, IT IS NOT MODEL RAILROAD PAINT, before you go out and buy
something, try a
sample of your model, with the provision of having a disolving agent
handy, in case
your experiment goes south, do not believe everything that is on the
web, their main
goal is to sell you a product, if it doesn't work, IT'S ON YOU

Here's a tip I gleaned from the model car people. Go to the auto
parts store (The WWW if your parts store doesn't have it.) and buy
a gallon of 'Super Clean' degreaser. Soak your shells in it until
the paint literally falls off. Sometimes in less than a day,
sometimes a couple of days, depending on the kind of paint you're
trying to remove. Works like a champ. Removes the paint, leaves the
shell untouched. Check out the story yourself on the web. It's well
documented (at least the last time I looked.)
I have used it on a lot of old Flyer and Lionel shells. Worked
every time! It's magic!
