Paint screw up

[StarLord99]

Hey guys! I just recently starting to repaint the titan series age of ultron hulkbuster. Long story short I Screw up the paint. I used an Honda Red acrylic Rattle can paint. My question is how can I remove the paint without damaging the plastic? Thank you in advance

• Large ziplock bag
• Easy Off oven cleaner
• Toothbrush
Put it in the ziplock bag, spray it liberally with the cleaner, seal it and check back in 24hrs. Use toothbrush to get all the paint off.

Will it melt the plastic if I left it too long?

I’ve never had an issue with leaving it on more than two days. I’ve been using it for 30+ years on plastic model kits like those from Revell and AMT that I’d find at flea markets. Not once had it damaged that plastic. Have no clue what plastic yours is made of though so if you do use it, error on the side of caution and just check it from time to time.

is it vinyl or plastic? and you could always throw some on the sprue to see how it reacts... yaknow - just in case

automotive brake fluid will dissolve paint but not plastic. But as always, do a test first.

Castrol Super Clean works too. Takes the chrome of of styrene parts too. The smell isn't as nasty as Easy Off, but you should use it in a well ventilated area anyway.

I wish I would've known these tricks a long time ago....

Simple green will strip acrylic and you can leave it soak for as long as you want. I stripped a Hasbro Hero Millennium Falcon using simple green and it has very similar plastic. After a week the paint was shriveled and sloughed off. I scrubbed the remainder off with a semi-stiff bristled brush.
