removing oil based paint

[compheat]

I've just bought a van that was previously used by a painter, How can I remove oil based paint from bodywork without damaging original paint.
Ive tried T cut and its not worked,

cheers

The very gentle use of a heat gun on it's lowest setting will soften the paint in order for you to remove it with a rag and a little spirit, just make sure that the gun is off before you use the spirit. A heat gun is often used in this manor to both soften and remove graphic transfers from Cellulose paints a very simple technique if you take care.

You can rub it with a cloth dipped in cellulose thinners.... and before anyone says anything it wont bring the vehicle paint off. Work quickly and then wipe it with T cut after.
