Martin87 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi guys can anyone give me advice on stripping paint to repaint models with as little damage as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickD Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) I use a product called Biostrip 20. Let your models rest in it for about 10 minutes and then rub away the paint wit an old toothbrush. This is my preferred method. Edited May 3, 2020 by FrederickD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Isopropyl alcohol. Let sit 5 mins, take an old toothbrush and lightly scrub. Every tiny last little bit won't come off so repeat the above. Let dry. After the 2nd time, there may be a little paint or primer left but I've never noticed it after priming again.

Vasshpit Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 @Martin87 I've never had a problem with iso. There are quite a few helpful vids about stripping with iso on YouTube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it with resin though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
