Hello i want to know a quick, cheap, damage proof way of removing arclyic paint of my dunkleosteus, and some old kiddie figures i that i spilled paint on, and i want to clean it so i could sell them

If the Paint was not sealed it should be quite easy. When i tried Repainting the first times or not liking my work, i just got warm water, and a Brush. Takes bit, but should remove the acrylic paint. If it is older Paint, it was a bit smeary. Then i added a bit soap to it. But i never removed the orginal Paint with this Stuff.

If someone has a Better Idea, i would love to hear it. But warm water and a Brush should work fine. Also, Hand soap should not be an agressive Chemical.

If there are big, thick drops of unthinned acylic paint on the Figures, you could try to remove them really careful mechanically with your Fingers. Since i always use waterthinned Paint, i have no expierience in that in combination with Figures.

Since the surface of the Figures wasnt prepared and cleaned before the spilled paint hit them, it should not be that much adhesion between the Paint and the Figure. I would try it slowly.

How can the paint be removed from the figures produced by PNSO? What paints are used in these figures?
Paints of which companies are suitable for repainting it? So that the paint will be as strong as the original, and not scratched with a fingernail.

Removing the factory paint isn't always that necessary in my opinion, just wash the model with soap water to remove possible dirt/grease, let it dry and spray it with primer and your good to go! For repainting, acrylic paints are the most widely used. And to seal the paint, use varnish that can be used with acrylics.
