It makes a remarkably effective paint remover. Spray it on and leave it and the paint bubbles away, then scrub hard to remove residue.
I suppose it depends on what paint was used, but it works on the spray type paints you buy for DIY jobs. |
Thanks Mike. I'm sure there is a similar product available here too.

The green one wouldn't strip straight away with the same stripper (paint not bubbling up), but I did discover that the stripper banjaxed the paint enough for me to get the thing clean with a little brass brush which was about the size and shape of a toothbrush. Go easy if you need the brush or you'll get a rough surface on the Bakelite. Most painted British radios strip easily enough. Stripped a few dozen in my time!

Many thanks, Rob,
Glad to "meet" you, by the way.
