Trying to strip some latex based paint off of an acrylic tank-anyone done this before that can suggest the best method? Tank is empty so can go at it any which way, just not sure if a stripper is best or a heat gun or something else? Really trying to get a 100% strip so I can repaint it black (it's on the outside back of the tank) Thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers.

I would not use solvent strippers, they may soften the acrylic. Scraping is about the only way... sanding with ultra fine after then repaint?Originally Posted by drainbamage

yea....I just really hate sanding acrylic-never have the patience to do all the steps. Do you think a heat gun would cause too much expansion on the acrylic and cause any cracks? Looking more like it's going to be a plastic scraper and a ton of elbow grease.
