Ok I am pissed, really pissed. I bought an Apple IIgs earlier this year and put it in the basement till I could get to restoring it. Today was that day. I recapped the main board and then thought I would tackle and clean up the case followed by a retrobright. The machine was blotchy yellow but I didn't think anything of it at first. Then while trying to polish away stains I noticed they got worse!
Long and short of it, the idiot painted the entire case various shades of yellow! Its long past my ability to file a claim which I would have done from the get go. Who paints a computer case to look old and yellowed?!
So I am determined to strip the paint, properly clean the case and retrobright it. However I don't know a thing about stripping paint, especially on delicate plastics. Can someone please recommend a stripper solution I cant paint on and strip away this nasty yellow paint without melting the plastic?
