Stripping-no not that kind

Modeling Subjects Figures and Misc.

Hey all,

I’ve been working on Verlinden’s Black Prince figure lately and actually having some succes on my first figure model. That was until I tried to paint gold on the belt. The closest paint I had on hand at the time was Model Master brass, just about everything else was painted with oil paint. The brass left a texture similar to 100 grit wet-or-dry! Now I have to strip the brass to rid the hapless prince of his pebbly textured belt, but what to use? I usually use Simple Green or Bleche White for paint stripping (yeah, I’ve got a little experience with paint mishaps), but I’ve never used it on oil paints. Any ideas? What works for removing color, short of placing the prince in front of that picture of Rosie O’Donnell from the Odd’s and End’s section? [xx(] [yuck]

Thanks

Since it is a resin figure, you can use just about any paint stripper on it. Resin is pretty hearty and will not be harmed by much. The Simple Green, Bleach-White, or Oven Cleaner will all work equally as well on the oil paints as enamels. Good luck with the repaint.
