I was just about to try out a flame paint job on my Camaro. I put some Frisket film on the sides, drew and cut out my design. I then removed the excess frisket film, only to find a horrible sticky mess underneath. Does anyone know what I should do. I have tried warm soapy water, then scrubbing with a toothbrush. I can't think of anything else I can do without harming the perfect paint job underneath. Will oven cleaner do the trick? I don't think it removes lacquer paints. I have used Tamiya TS paints (I think they're lacquer). This is my 2nd disaster on my Camaros body regarding paint!!! Any help would be much appreciated.

Two good "sticky" removers, neither of which should hurt lacquer or enamel finishes 1. Lighter fluid (use extreme caution) 2. WD-40 (wash with soap and water afterwards). :-)

Oven cleaner will remove your paint.
I never had a problem with FriskFilm leaving residue.

The WD-40 got it off fine. Thanks for the help Chuck

Now who thought these two up???

The amount of information and ingenuity on this site leaves me speechless with amazement!

I remember the first time I ever saw references to Klear... I couldn't beleive it. I'd used Klear on my boots (when I was in the Army) and knew it was a floor polish but it just never occurred to me to slap it on a model which is fair enough... But WD-40????

Two things to remember in this world...

1...if it does not move and its supposed to, spray it with WD-40

2... if its moves and its not supposed to, use duct tape...

Everything else is irrelevant... :-)

Addenda to rule #2:
Be sure to tear the edges of the duct tape square. That is the sign of true craftmanship.

Thanks for the chuckle Dave...
