Picked up a postwar Lionel Budd car that has some paint on the trucks.
For some reason, the owner painted portions of the plastic step assembly silver, as well as portions of the couples. If the paint cannot be removed from these parts, I can always replace them. (I don't think it can).
But the owner also got some silver paint spatter on one of the metal truck side frames.
I tried scrubbing the truck side frames with a stiff toothbrush and Simple Green, which removed some of the silver paint, but it didn't all come off. I was thinking about trying a stiff toothbrush with mineral spirits.
I don't want to remove the original black finish from the side frames.
Any thoughts?
