Hello guys, i've begin spray painting my army and I messed up big time. I spray too close, and there was the paint covered the details. Right now im trying to clean the model, but im having a hard time trying to get the spray paint off. Any suggestions? btw how far away should i be when spray painting my model.

Anything that strips plastic will strip resin. Have you tried Simple green?

What do you mean? I cant really understand what you're talking about.

1. Find a Dollar Store or a Dollar Tree
2. Buy the bottle of urine colored liquid labeled "L.A.'s Totally Awesome"
3. Fill a bucket with this product
4. Dump miniatures into bucket
5. Wait 24 hours
6. Scrub miniatures lightly with a toothbrush (not yours)

That should remove the paint

P.S. All credit to King Cracker for telling me about this wonderful stuff

-Go buy a product called "Simple Green" cleaner
-Drop painted figs in undiluted solution, wait 24 hours
-Pull out minis and scrub with an old toothbrush
-If all the paint doesn't come off, put the minis back in the Simple Green for another 24 hours
-Repeat scrubbing

Simple Green will strip nearly any paint without dissolving resin or pitting metal parts.
