    I'm retheming a Bally Nightrider and would like to reuse the plastics that I have if possible.

    Is there a method anyone can suggest to remove the existing artwork, so I can repurpose the plastics for my project?

    Thanks.

    I have a test with ammonia, floor stripper & paint thinner.

    So far the floor stripper seems to be better than the other 2...but it's really slow. Soaking 2 hours and just through the backing layer.

    I may try something stronger than paint thinner and maybe floor stripper in my ultrasonic.

    Quoted from pinheadpierre:

    if you made the file I'd be happy to take it down to the lab and cut them for you.

    If I scan them, the file would be a graphic. Would you want some other file type? Would you want the file to be rasterized?

    What would you prefer?
