Jolemai Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Nail polish remover is often acetone, yes :) Have you used this before? If no, just go back after 30 mins and give it a scrub. If it doesn't come away, give it an hour and make sure it is coated (i.e submerged) - and so on until it comes off. You're not going to harm the model if it's metal :) b1n0gHo5t 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361803-stripping-metal-models/#findComment-5474180 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkhanist Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Acetone based nailpolish is great stuff for cleaning paint off metal, I use it as my 'really get this paint off now' option for my airbrush. Just don't use it on anything plastic, as it *will* melt! b1n0gHo5t and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361803-stripping-metal-models/#findComment-5474466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
