Hi, sprayed some fairings and was going well until I went to check on it. The paint must be out of date (been sat for ages) and it doesn't need hardener but it is just not drying. So, going to need to remove it, What is the easiest way?
Thanks, Grant

Nitromors, not the nicest of ways, but easiest, in my opinion.

Not the new Nitro mores, they removed the active ingredient which removed the paint with ease.

you tried lightly heating it with a hair dryer? Or have you vapour locked it?

Dichloromethane, you can buy it neat from eBay. Which makes removing it from products a bit herp to the derp.
