<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Stripping paint and priming"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Stripping paint and priming So as a very new painter i bought myself a "primer" color that i painted Dark Vengeance set with, ive done Dark Angels forces with it and didnt notice chipping.
But as i started doing Helbrute, i noticed, that red color is chipping quite badly, so i checked the spray i bought and realised that i had gotten a random black spray for plastic.
So i need to strip paint and get a new primer.

1) Is Dettol Original Liquid Antiseptic Disinfectant (orange) good for removing paint from miniatures (i am living in Estona so its really hard to get my hand on anything else).
2) Should i just get Games Workshop Chaos black primer (dont want to get a cheap alternative that screws me again). I can get Vallejo one also but most people dont seem to like it.

On the picture is the spray i used and in the horns, toes you can see it has chipped.

Anyway:
1) Yes, Dettol will strip paint, but it can be a messy process. There are lots of guides online, but the main thing is to give it a good long soak and don't rinse with water before scrubbing.

2) If you use Vallejo primer, you need to be aware that it is very fragile before it is fully cured. That takes several days. After that, it should be ok.

Looks too good to be true.
On the video they show without a primer and just a miniature color stripping, makes me wonder is it really that wonderful, did you have a primed model when you used it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9319544.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9319544.page GMT Stripping paint and priming
DO NOT DILUTE IT WITH WATER for stripping paint.
(This also means you WILL need to wear gloves - as undiluted dettol straight from the bottle WILL take skin off).
It will just turn the paint into a sticky mess that will be even harder to get off.

(It's commonly used diluted for cleaning wounds).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9319837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9319837.page GMT Re:Stripping paint and priming The big advantage this stuff has over other products is simply in the way it removes the paint;
1) It doesn't create a sludge/the paint just comes off like a liquid/you don't need to put a lot of effort into it just go over it with a paint brush until you've removed the paint.
2) Yes it does remove primer/as long as it is acrylic based then then this stuff will do the trick.
3)No adverse affects on the plastic.
4) Trust me it does work!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9320935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/724066/9320935.page GMT
