Use purple power available by the gallon at walmart. link Soak for 24 hours and use a toothbrush to remove paint. Comes off easily. |

I've had good results with brake fluid-- works on styrene. Disposal might create some issues, though. |

If the paint is gloss enamel, soak for a day in a mix of half rubbing alcohol & half vinegar. Might work on acrylics, too (though I haven't tried it out on those though…) |

I to have have good luck with Simple Green, you can soak for as long as you like. I think the Purple Power is very similar, perhaps at bit more aggressive. And Pine Sol is my last line with plastic, It does soften the plastic a bit, but 48 hours of airing out seams to return the plastics to normal. |

If you do not mind the smell then up to 24 hours or so in Detol can work. A gentle rub with a soft toothbrush can help. Note, this may strip glue and green stuff from the joints so make sure you have glue / filler handy. |

Is Simple Green available in the UK? I have had it recommended before but I'm blowed if I can find it! |
