    DVD MP Prime removing yellow

    (Masterpiece DVD Prime) I would like to remove the yellow from his head on both sides of his mouth-plate. Does anyone have tips? Should I use rubbing alcohol? Does Optimus' head pop off easily? Thanks in advance

    His head pops off pretty easy, it is on a ball joint. Rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab should work fine, might take some elbow grease though.

    Have you taken off his head before? It feels really tight.

    I wouldn't think it would come off easily because of the electronics

    I just painted over it with a metallic silver sharpie. Right over the yellow paint. Looked really good.

    Thanks everyone for the tips! I removed the yellow yesterday (after around 40 minutes of scrubbing XD) and it looks awesome. Very cartoon accurate now.
