Has anyone stripped Atlas freight car paint?
Author: Stottman

My next batch of freight cars to build, paint and weather will be Atlas 5077 FMC cars. I have not enough undecorated, and two to many TOE.

Has anyone stripped the paint off of these? Was it easy, like Athearn? Or require soda blasting/air eraser like Exactrail/Kato?

Thanks!

If the paint is anything like an Atlas EV caboose, the paint comes off easy with with a good soak in 91% isopropyl.

I like no paint in the details, so all in all, between soak and brushing, an hour max in alcohol, even though it takes less time to actually start removing.
