tbo Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 After trying to hand paint my RT-Mod helmet versus use decals I found myself having quite a bit of troubles with the Humbrol paints.. The end result was a very thick and nasty looking coating of something that sort of resembled paint. I had done a few searches trying to find things to remove it, and after finally making a post someone recommended using oven cleaner. This was done quite a while ago and I just recently found the free time to get back to my build, but I thought I would share the results. I take around the trap and sprayed it two or three times. It would foam up so I would apply more after it settled. It has been sitting for approximately 18 hours or so and it started cracking and bubbling up and one swipe with a rag showed a good clean removal with no damage to the plastic. Enjoy!

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 long soak time? 10 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbo Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 long soak time? 10 hours? I let it sit for like 18 hours the first time and came off fine. I sprayed a few other spots and after about four hours it appeared to look as it did at 18. I wasn't in a hurry so I let It sit I over night.
