[Modelling] Information Request: Paint Removal

Hi all! 

I want to repaint some old Games OrcShop 
GeneBorrowers. They're made of some kind of 
plastic (sorry Chris, can't tell you what kind... 
whatever old space-hulk figs were made from). 
Now, I've used brake fluid very successfully to 
remove paint from FSE white metal figs, and 
acetone to remove the epoxy holding them to 
washers. But I suspect acetone would eat the 
plastic. What about the brake fluid though? Will 
it eat the plastic? Can anyone speak semi-
authoritatively on this? 

And in a related note, assuming I wanted ot 
repaint some rather expensive armourcast 
resins (since I have an airbrush!), would brake 
fluid be safe for the resin? (Maybe David of DLD 
or someone might have some idea about what 
might be good or bad for stripping paint from 
resin?)

Since I'm now in the ranks of the under-
employed (I guess now that I'm a 
contractor/consultant, I can't call that 
unemployed, though the distinction at the bank 
isn't very great....), I seem to have some time 
over the holidays to catch up some painting 
and model building projects.
