Hi,

I have an old Corgi Toys Lunar Bug Diecast Space Craft and would like to paint it to match my ultramarines - it has dried up stickers on both sides.

What would the best way to remove these?

TIA

If it's only metal dunk it into acetone/nail remover, and let it rest for a few hours. That's what I do with my old metals to clear the gunk.

Stickers would best be removed with a product like Goo-Gone. Spray it, let sit a few minutes, and they peel right off. Then you can get to removing the paint.
