After cleaning a wipe down with alcohol wipes helps before primer is applied, nice video

Gotta love these kinds of vids. Straight to it. A few tips and warnings along the way.

Good tutorial! I also used isopropyl alcohol to remove acrylic paint instead of nail polish remover. It needs to soak longer, depending on how old the previous paint job is, but it worked for me. Cheers!

Nice tip Thomas

Thanks, Justin. The kit was perfect apart from these bits so I wanted to give it a reset before I started!

2 questions. Will this work for spray can acrylic such as Halfords? Is nail polish remover the same as nail varnish remover(without acetone)?

@BOABModels 5 месяцев назад

Possibly regarding the spray acrylic - maybe test it on something unimportant first. This was Revell acrylic I believe. Nail polish and varnish remover is the same stuff I think, just people call it different names. It's the lack of acetone which is important here.

I'm wondering of brake fluid would work

@BOABModels Год назад

Yeah I've seen people use brake fluid to strip paint but I don't have any so haven't tried it.

@eimannazry2002 Год назад

What brand did you use to remove this acrylic paint from plastic model

@BOABModels Год назад

I can't remember as it was just what we had in the house. It has to be acetone free nail polish remover.

@BatZie Год назад

@@BOABModels Yea. i used acetone before seeing this video and noticed it damaged the plastic.

@PL-wj9tr 2 года назад

Good Idea 👍but pity of you dumping the paint and cleaner down the drain 👎

@BOABModels 2 года назад

Yeah, I have realised I shouldn't have done that. Not done it again since.

@PL-wj9tr 2 года назад

@@BOABModels Good to.see that and thank you

I use Dettol Disinfectant to strip paint off die-cast metal cars etc. I then strain the liquid through a sieve to catch all the flaked off paint and use a funnel to put the Dettol back in its bottle.
