    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Wow. Was that necessary? If you are going to criticize, at least provide some reasoning. Everyone has their own opinion but without reasoning or facts you’re just another troll.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    I would say I was able to get about 99% of the paint removed. The green and tan have a slightly darker tone than the other side but it looks a world better than what it looked like before. During the final stages of wiping it down I ended up finding a few spots that had been touched up once...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Well acetone did the trick but good lord did I wind up with a mess I wasn’t expecting, lol. I would say I am done with my first stage. The unfortunate problem was that there was so much spray paint over top of the original camo, that when I would go to wipe it off, it would just smear. So...

    That was my understanding as well from reading the forums. But what about regular paint remover? I think I’m going to buy a small container just to see what it will do.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    I appreciate the input! I’ve often wondered if I really do in fact have CARC paint and not an older version of enamel paint. I’ll try some acetone on a small area. I do have an industrial Jenny steam pressure washer. I was thinking of giving that a try too. Next few few days are supposed...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Hello! I have a unique twist to a common question on here. I would like an experienced opinion. I have a M998A1 with a beautiful and original camo paint... on one side of the vehicle. The other side on the other hand, well the previous owner took it upon himself to use it as a test canvas. He...
