Question Regarding Paint Removal

[PredatrHuntr]

I have a slight problem with a resin Predator bust. I always wash my busts with soap and water, but for some reason this one time I happened to forget Now that the primer is coming off, what is the quickest and/or easiest way of removing it? Someone told me to use oven cleaner? And other ideas?

That's what I would suggest. It's messy, but it works. Use the real stuff, not the dollar store stuff. A friend of mine used to do his in the shower for easy rinsing. I've read some people even just lay a garbage bag down mouth open. This way you just wipe it off and there minimal mess.

I always use acetone but I've never done anything with resin (so unsure if it eats resin too).

Thank you! I'll give the oven cleaner a shot by first trying a small amount on the back of the head to see if it works

Patience is key. Allow it to bubble the paint a little before trying to remove it. It won't take long.

Oven cleaner works well, in your case one of 2 applications should work. I have placed a helmet in a plastic bowl, coated it in Cleaner, covered it with a bag for a half hour or so, then rinsed under water using a stiff bristled brush (plastic) to carefully scrub off the paint. Took a few attempts to get it all off, but it did.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but primer is porous, as opposed to paint, so that should allow for even better penetration.

I'll give it a shot this weekend and make sure to post the results!
