Re: Model paint on brake caliper - update?

[mitchman@owt.com (Mitch)]

Eric,

I've had great luck with a product called "Steam".  Buy the extra strength
stuff in the big black can with the black cap.  It works great and even
seems to leave a shiney coating on the rubber so you really don't have to
go back and touch up the rubber parts.  Try it!
