    Default Stripping paint from rubber

    To remove paint from Plastic i've always used Car brake fluid but left it applied to the plastic as little time as possible, i used to do this a lot when i used to be into model Railways & used to modify the shop bought railway engine plastic bodies with more detail to scale detail drawings of the real thing before re-spray.

    As for paint on rubber has anyone ever tried brake fluid for this, i ask as i'm trying to remove black spray from the top of some Bass unit baskets, the paint has gone onto the rubber surround aswell! it's only a thin matt black by the looks of it & probably would come off with some 'T' cut or summert simular! it's not all over the rubber just around the edge that fixed to the basket frame.

    If it is spray paint it might be cellulose based and thinners would remove it?
