- 1). Pour the brake fluid into a glass jar that's large enough to hold the item you're stripping while submerged in the liquid.
- 2). Wash the surface of the object with mild liquid soap and warm water to remove any dirt, debris or chemicals from the item. Rinse thoroughly in running water and then pat the object dry with a paper towel.
- 3). Submerge the item within the fluid in the jar. Place the cap on the jar. Leave the item in the jar for up to 48 hours. Check the paint adhesion on the item after 12 hours to determine if the paint has pulled away from the object. You can use a wooden stir stick to perform the check by scraping the edge of the object with the stick to see if the paint flakes away, if so, then remove the object from the fluid. If not, leave in place for an additional soaking period. Check again after 12 more hours. If the paint still sticks but bubbles slightly from the object, check after six hours instead of 12.
- 4). Place a pair of rubber gloves on your hands for protection from the liquid. Pull the object from the jar when the paint easily flakes from the object.
- 5). Fill a small bowl with liquid soap. Dip the bristles of a toothbrush into the soap and then use the brush to scrub away the loosened paint from the object. Scrape paint from hard to reach areas using the tip of a wooden toothpick.
- 6). Rinse the fluid residue from the object with cold water. Submerge the object back in the fluid if paint remains for an additional 12 hours and repeat the scrubbing afterward. Dispose of the brake fluid according to waste disposal regulations for your area.
