Does anyone know a good way to remove enamel/ acrylic paint off resin kits?
I'm looking for a way that doesn't effect the resin it self.

Thanks!

Dip and leave the model in Pinesoil (home cleaning product) and use a plastic bucket...The pinesoil will soften the paint after a whole day of being soaked in it.. It worked for my Vinyl models before.without hurting it. Hope this helps?

Also, lacquer thinner wont melt the plastic like it will to styrene.

Castrol Super Clean. Put the item in a bucket, pour in enough SC to cover the item, let sit over night, and in the morning, just scrub it with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Paint will flake right off.
