It’s a custom that I’m working on, but I need some help and some insight from anyone who has experience with this. I am making a custom Kamen Rider gashat. Now my problem is I have used 99% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and the paint has not removed itself yet from the rider image I wish to remove. Does anyone have any experience in this matter? Nail polish remover won’t work because it will damage the plastic underneath.
Sanding is probably your best bet. Since that image is a tampographe removing it chemically will be difficult, if not impossible. sanding and polishing is probably your best bet.
i do not have any experience with the subject you are referring to but it looks a lot like the same situation with Legos. Lego print cannot be removed with alcohol either and there are several different things that can be tried. One is a pencil eraser. Brasso is another thing used for removing paint off legos. but it does seem to very lightly scratch the lego piece so buffing may be required. I would try googling and watching the various videos and try the less invasive of them. I will say i did use nail polish remover and then sanded the piece down and reglossed it using floor polish and you wouldnt know i did anything to it. Since this is a clear piece extra care is needed as its more brittle. Alcohol is not good for clear plastic as it can cause it to crumble.
