    Hello my name is Nick. Just recently just completed a 1977 R2-D2 that I purchased on ebay.







    This was the first I attempted model with a "gritty" look...I also do movie cars and TV Cars, and I am still working on my Ghostbusters movie Replica Proton Pack.

    So I started working also on a Return of the Jedi C-3PO and sprayed him with a Dupli Color Gold...It looks bad , tried brake fluid and will use the oven cleaner next. If I can't get the Dupli Color Gold off...what should I use???

    I have been able to remove 30 year old model enamel with Super Clean.

    Welcome to the RPF!

    That R2 looks great! Very nice weathering on him. Good luck with the 3PO. I will aslo say use the Super Clean. Works wonders. Just make sure to wear rubber gloves. I didn't and it took all the oils out of my hands and dried them out real bad for a week.

    I can tell you from very recent experience (as in, 2 days ago) that SuperClean works crazy good at getting enamel paints off plastic.
