Could it be that type of paint (Duplicote?) that when sprayed on first etches the plastic?

Bill,
I don't really know,,,I had a conversation with the guys at American Models about stripping the paint off of their EMD FP40s and the gentleman I spoke to said "you can't strip the paint off the FP40 because they?are painted with "MARS" paint. !!!!
I have tried the normal methods of stripping the factor paint and so I have not found anything that has removed the paint!!!!
I have not tried any of the new family of paint strippers though!!!
Hope this helps

As a relative noob, what does that ¡°MARS¡± mean, exactly?
