I have this exact same question.

Nice Tron. What's the mini's count now? :)

The guy I bought it from suggested de-greaser. I'm sure other people here have had to do something similar; overspray gets on everything.

7, but it'll be back down to six once I get the good stuff switched off of this TRON. :D
 
I use rubbing alcohol and or Goo Gone. Both do not mar/melt the plastic or scratch it. You will have to put some time into it, but both do work well. You can even let the parts soak over night in the Goo Gone and it will loosen it up if you have a large patch of it, or a rolled section.

Nice mini, I'd love to have that myself!

Awesome. I'll give one or both a try and report back.
 
Oh and make sure you don't use GOOF OFF!

There is a huge difference! Goof Off is much stronger and clear in color. It works fantastically on glass or unpainted metal. But use it on painted metal and plastic and it will remove paint, or melt the plastic. I use it too, but only after a test spot.

Certain plastics can take it I think like Delrins, or plastics made for fuels, but most cannot.
