gazmosis[501st] Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Now that all of you have endured my whining and crying about my paint failure ( a huge thanks to all those who helped out in providing me with info that will hopefully prevent this again!!!), I needed to strip all my parts that I painted. I may as well learn something from the failure and maybe help others in the process. I found a product called "Goof Off" at Menards. ($5) I used this as an adhesive remover because , unlike goo gone, it leaves behind no oily residue. I soaked the parts with this and after a few minutes soak time, softened up the paint nicely. With 220 sandpaper and and a light touch, the paint turned into a milky paste. A few more sprays and a little effort and the parts were clean...primer and all. Most important, no effect on the plastic!!! I needed about 2 full bottles to do all the leg parts(4 shin halves, 4 thigh halves, sniper, and power pack) Small price to pay to save some time and not ruin the armor parts.--------- Edited December 9, 2020 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
