Removing paint
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 9:22 pmDoes anyone know how to remove paint from figures? I spray painted "chrome" on G1 Galvatron to fill in the missing spots, but I kinda went overboard and it sprayed a lot than what I needed.

It's "plasti-kote" spray paint. I found them at Walmart.

It's the automotive equivalent of windex and should be able to eat through it if you let it soak for a couple days. Use a toothbrush to scrub the parts every now and then to speed up the process.
Be careful not to let the parts soak for weeks on end as it will dye the plastic purple, but only if you neglect the parts.
