Yesterday, I stripped the paint from my astraea..I'm planning on modding it that's why I stripped the paint off..anyway, here are some pictures :)
Prepping the parts to be stripped~
Poured in the denatured alcohol, and look..the paint are already getting stripped! :D
After 3-4hrs, I brushed the parts~
This is what it looks like now~

What brand of denatured alcohol was that?
ReplyDeleteAFAIK, It really doesn't matter what brand you use as long as it's a 'Denatured Alcohol'. But anyway, the brand I used on this one was 'Tiger'.
DeleteDid you experience any brittle pieces after doing this? I've got several old kits I'd love to overhaul, but I'm concerned about making them fragile in the process.
ReplyDeleteYeap I did. That's why I don't really recommend this when you want to remove the paint from your kit. I now always go for acetone when doing so. http://mrpinkzeon.blogspot.com/2011/09/paint-stripping-via-acetone.html
DeleteI do apologize for the late reply. Been on a hibernate on this hobby for quite some time now.
