Dan,
I went through the same faze with the models.
I knew most of the Floquil paint numbers by heart.
Thinking back, I probably spent two or three sets of used SU's on model
kits, paint, toothpaste (as a rubbing compound), fine metal seatbelts and
other crap. Most of those models which took hours and hours of my time to
build have now fallen apart and are stuck in shoe boxes.
I for one was stuck on WWII armor. Exact to the dirt on the tracks!
Glad that shit is over! Cost tooooo much!

Subject: Re: stripping a plastic grill
Most plastics can be stripped by brake fluid safely and is what many
modelers use themselves. Not ALL will be compatible though so test in an
unseen spot.
Model paint manufacturers also have their own versions, but you're going
to find them very very very expensive to use on a grill since they are
meant to be used on a body shell of a model car, plane, or railroad item.
Tamiya, Floquil, and Scalecoat are amongst some of the more popular model
paint lines.
