Help!!!
ok-i ReaLLY f-ed up! i tried to remove the paint on my bullet by nail polish remover, and it wasn't working too well, so i decided to soak it- BIG MISTAKE!!!i let it go for 5 minutes, and as i started to try and rub off the nail polish, it distorted my body! i almost broke parts, but luckily i glued them back with super glue immediately, but part of my window peeled off-so i might need to dremel out the windows at a later date....my question is-if i wiped all the remover off, will it be fine? and how is the best way to remove the paint???

dunno...I would just start over. The OEM cars are molded in a solid color anyways so getting a body set off of ebay or something might be the way to go.

never use acetone.... ie. nail polish remover, as it will destroy your body. The removal of paint is best accomplished with foaming oven cleaner. Put your car in a bag, spray the oven cleaner in and wait for about 30 min. then go back and scrub it off with an old toothbrush.
Give this a try

Nail polish works good for painting. (a little thick for me though), but when you wanna remove it, don't use acetone....
It's ok if the polish really belongs to you......LOL
