Coincidentally, the topic of moving, my Brother and his wife got a house. In the garage my brother found my 21ST Century Navy Tactical vehicle! I was 12 when I bought it. Had to get a summer job, but it paid off.
However, at 12 I really sucked at painting. I wanted a desert yellow, but the hobby store guy at the time gave me a Walmart brand pastel yellow spray can, which I believe is for outdoor furniture. For some reason, the spare tire was painted with blue acrylic? Maybe I was on an X-men theme? I dunno, I guess after several painting fails as a 12 year old, I put the vehicle in the garage. My dad wanted to throw it in the trash, but my brother kept it after all these years.
Now after seeing it I want to restore it. I was watching videos on restoring metal toys, like hot wheels and old Tonka trucks, where the person used brake fluid to get the paint off the car to look really clean and brand new.
My question is will brake fluid work on the plastic of a 21st Century vehicle? Would the plastic corrode, warp, or melt? The paint that I used back then was the 96 cents Walmart spray can and AppleBarrel acrylic paint.
