Re: Importing a resin replica gun to the UK. Paint it green then remove the paint - h
That's what I was sayin'. I guess any ol' ammonia based window cleaner works.
The great thing about using Tamiya paints and window cleaner is that the method is VERY mild on sensitive materials, but the paint comes right off. Cleanup is super easy with soap and water. If you use slightly thinned matte paints they will start coming off right away.
It's also a great way to weather props (like a Firefly Mal's pistol). Use a laquer-based coating underneath (which will withstand the cleaner). Cover the model in brown paint, then start rubbing it with a cleaner-moist cloth. The Tamiya will disolve on the highlights and bring out the base coat.
