Strip a Mawloc? Help!

[Halollet]

So I got a bunch of used nice which included 2 Tyron/Mawlocs but they're painted and i need to strip them... But, they're freaking huge! I use Simple Green so I have the right chemical, just... I can use it watered down right? Anyone know what ratio would still be effective? Any thoughts for a container to put it in or should I just get a bucket?

Cheers!

I'm actually going through the same problem. I lucked out and found a gallon of simple green at Home Depot for $10. I just had to break my Mawloc down as far as I could before putting it in a bucket. Sadly, mine was painted pretty thick, so even full strength didn't take much offneeded and I almost always go full strength.

I use engine degreaser and soak in a 50-50 mixture for a week if it's really thick. The paint comes right off.

If the paint is thick, strip. If it's light, consider painting over it. Yes that is some work, but putting a coat of black over everything, even a thin, quick coat, is only a good afternoon.

You need to put more money in its underwear.

I've had to strip a mawloc and winged flyrant before and it wasn't terrible. Just find a vessel large enough to house it and fill it with a mixture of water and simple green. I didn't even use that much simple green either, maybe like 1:8 simple green to water. I DID just leave it in there for a bit though and the (outer) paint wasn't very thick. The base coat was thick as hell though and none of that came off. If your outer coats are thick, diluted simple green can still work, just do a little scrubbing during the process to introduce new flaws into the paint so the solution can soak through. Primers are a whole different monster, I have no idea how to clean those off.

Heads up though, fragile bits like the antennae may snap off during scrubbing. It might be best to carefully remove them before going to town with a brush so that they at least come off in a predictable manner.
