Is it possible to remove paint from plastic miniatures ?

Hi,

I know how to remove paint on metal miniatures with acetone but is there any way to do the same with plastic.

I once tried with thiner or acetone and the results were catastrophic as the plastic ''melted'' somewhat ....

Thx for any aswer.

Yup, theres loads of ways.

My current favourite however, is using "Fairy Powerspray"

I've got a post about it on my Blog Here

Yes, the blogs about a metal mini, but I've also had the same results on plastic and resin figs in the meantime

Fairy powerspray you say huh ? ...

I'll give it a try !

Thx

Simple Green cleaner works great. I soak them for a day and brush with warm water and an old tooth brush. I have had some pieces in the soak for 6 months and they had no detrimental effects. I did have one model with greenstuff soften but it dried again.

I use brake oil, not sure how to say it in english, I let the plastic ones in between 3 to 24 hours.

Brake Fluid, or Brake & Clutch Fluid.

That used to be my preffered way as well, until I found the fairy powerspray method
