I am about to receive a large lot of painted minis and wanted to know what is best to use to strip the paint from them, i am getting bolth metal and plastic, so id like to know what works best for both.

A bottle of Stolichnaya and my teeth.
... whoops wrong thread and forum.

Simple Green, works on plastics and works on metal.
Keep in mind it jellies epoxies so green stuff and 2 part epoxy adhesives will fail after a dip.
Use a firm tooth brush to scrub off the paint after a day of soaking.
Pick out the last of it with a pin or dental tool.

(Also, use the search function, there are tons of threads devoted to this.)

i know there's a bunch of threads on it but i just wanted a few opinions on the quick

Search function is REALLY quick, unless you don't use it. Then, I guess, it's really slow.

and there are dozens more. I hope that helps.

Wow these are starting to turn into problem threads. So many people making them without EVER using the search bar. But once again here is what you use, its better then simple green by miles at least. Use the search bar if you want to find out where to buy this stuff. Call it a lesson in humility

King, if these treads keep up you should start getting a commision for pitching that clearner.

KING CRACKER HERE!
