Ok, here's a question I haven't seen asked or commented on. Has anyone tried to strip paint and or primer from a Finecast minis? If so what did you use and how did it turn out?

Thanks!

spray stripper from home depot ate it up....

maybe it was too industrial?

A guy on another forum I go to stripped a Finecast mini. Came out alright. Doesn't strip as clean as metal, stripes slightly better than plastic. You just have to be fairly careful so you don't put too much pressure on it and break it or whatever.

Good question, Im rather curious myself.

Not that I am saying someone should buy a 50$ model, paint it then dump it in simple green to see if it melts or is destroyed....

Wait, that is what I am saying. Someone else do it so we can see how it works!

There is lots of sprue.

Very few people will have bought Firnecast and already need a full repaint.

Experimenters only need to save some of the abundant sprue pieces undercoat them and paint them normally, with or varnish then try and strip them.
