Has anyone here had any experience with stripping everything, if so, horror stories please. Could you bring yourselves to do it, and is it worth it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382295.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382298.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...

GW primer. Before the last change, I think that was about 3-4 months ago where they switched over their primers, the old ones were much harder to strip from your models.

Castrol SuperClean works REALLY well on metal models as well as plastic. The newer type of GW base spray paint, or Krylon Ultra Flat colors come off very well/easily after a couple day soak in undiluted SimpleGreen. I use a toothbrush and a hard bristle brush to get the nasty stuff off while the stripped model is under hot to warm water.

The older, much better type of GW primer is MUCH harder to strip from models, both the black and white primer. I use Castrol SuperClean for that and a strong bristle brush under hot water.

hope that helps. I can provide some pictures also later on of some recently stripped fantasy models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382338.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY... makes you better looking at something you want to improve on...

idk...
seems like a lot of work to undo...
if it was me i would just buy a new army and paint it...
either a new army entirely, or sell the one you have and buy the same thing and paint it...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382344.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...
The primer that I used is GW from a couple of months ago, so I think its fine. Now I'm using a Dulux silver for my models, which is difficult in that its harder to paint over a gloss undercoat, but it gives it a perfect finish. Do most stripping agents remove a gloss base? I dont think I'll be stripping my new ones, but its something to think about.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382350.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382350.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382374.page GMT Re:Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...
Failing that, the "horror stories" I have are simply of the frustration of trying to paint fully assembled miniatures!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382422.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...
for metal minis you cant beat Nitromors, I told on the "whoops" thread of my misdemeaners with that stuff though.

for plastic I find brake fluid gives the best results, again its nasty stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382638.page GMT Re:Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...
Wish I had the extar disposable income some of you have, lol.

For the small effort it takes to buy a jug of Castrol Super clean and dump your army into for a day, it doesn't justify spending hundreds, upon hundreds of dollars to re-buy the army, or buy a new one.

Thats just my $0.02 CDN though ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382645.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382672.page GMT Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382675.page GMT Re:Stripping my ENTIRE ARMY...

Thats my major problem, Ive been collecting this army over years, and it would take me several months at least to rebuy a similar one. Stripping seems like the easy option.

Same for me, but in Australia.

@ Glon: Wow, best of luck man. I would only be stripping around 60 models and 2-3 vehicles, so stripping that many models can't be easy.

I've found out that it takes about three times longer with simple green than purple power and more paint is left on.

Last night I removed paint from about 50 marines in about 45 minutes that had been soaking in purple power for about 5 days.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/218456/382775.page GMT
