    Hey guys just curious about the best way to whiten a grand max body. Is 6% h2o2 the best strength? Do I need to keep him in a sealed area near the solution so the vapour can go on him or does the whole thing need to be soaked ( sounds dangerous).

    Thanks

    As I understand it the solution offered in the above thread isn't permanent and it will yellow again over 2 years.

    I'd go for a complete respray. Use acryllics (for oil based white will also yellow) and seal it with a nice hard coat of future.

    Unless I'm mistaken, Rein is simply suggest that you repaint the figure. Our Tutorials here should give you some help with that.
