Hi guys!

I got a masterpiece Grimlock. I painted the figure blue for g2 colors. I really would like to remove the paint, so I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the best way to do so.

Thanks!

 

What kind of paint was used?

 

Didn't know there's a way to remove paint to make it look original

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure your stuck unless you want to strip to repaint in g1 colors, but there is no way to make it original again

 

Pretty costly figure to do a custom on, but hey if you got the dough do it!!

 

Depends on the paint you used...

Paint thinner could do the job but it's going to strip the original applications too. Post pics

 

Yeah, you might be better off leaving it the way it is. Even if you manage to remove the blue, you're very likely to damage the coloring underneath.
If you use the paint thinner, try diluting it first to get a feel for how it works. Paint you used and pics would be good for more help.

 

Warhammer/40k enthusiasts in the US tend to use Simple Green to strip paint off miniatures. I would look into it as it depends on the paint you used. I'm only familiar with what I can access in the UK, which is Fairy Power Spray.

 

Thanks for the help guys, some of the paint actually comes off, but ya I'll try the paint thinner.

 

i've tried soaking it in rubbing alcohol. but depends on the paint

 

WHAT KIND OF PAINT? acrylic? use alcohol it works for me....qtips and rub away. enamel or laquer? i would just repaint it the original colors over them to be honest....but thats just me i'd be afraid of doing some damage.
