Yosef Hausakluif Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I might buy a previously painted FW model online and wanted to strip the curretn paint it has on it; I usually use Simple Green cleaner on metal an dplastics, but is there any reason why this would not work with or harm a resin model from FW?

MinamotoKansuke Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 DO NOT attempt to strip resin. While I did not try with FW specifically (I hear it's different than GW resin) and did not use Simple Green (not available here), none of the methods I tried worked without damaging the model. I was not able to find anything reliable online too. My GW resin got soft and wobbly, lost most sharp detail as well.

MajorKhaos Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I've used Cellulose thinner to strip the paint off an old FW Chaos Marine bust. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275606-paintstripping-fw-resin/#findComment-3373761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
