"All About" Ponies Question

[Bewilderbeast]

Has anyone removed the ridiculous scene on the side? It's a different texture to the usual paint, can it even BE removed? I'm hesitant to touch it myself before confirming it can be done, I don't want to ruin my Soarin.

[RoseNoire]

I don't have those ponies, but I'm quite certain something can be done.
Use a cue-tip and try those substance on a very very small portion, on the border of the markings, to experiment without fully ruining it :
- Cleaning alcohol
- Acetone
- Acetone-free nail polish remover (I'm almost certain this one should work since it's good at removing pony symbols and eyes)

Does any of these works ? Use it ! And be careful with what you want to keep of the pony (eyes, symbols and all that). At last, rub the pony with a wet cloth and dry your pony and it should be good. ^^

Hope that helps, have a good day !

Rose.

I was wondering this, too! I'm sure they probably _can_ be acetoned off, but I'm not really one to mess with my ponies.. I'd love to see if anyone else has done it, though

Manda Panda on youtube removed it like she removed the other decals and there was a white layer underneath.

Really..... That is annoying, and thanks for sharing.

*blink blink at that weird whiteness on de-graffitied MLP*  That would be very off-putting to customizers wouldn't it...

That white looks like it can still be removed... I think I have two of Big Mac so I can try tonight and see what I can do.

I find it interesting though that she used printer paper to do the symbol work

agree, it just looked like thicker paint. Some more acetone/np remover and elbow grease should do the trick, if my eyes aren't decieving me (looked like it started to come off in places?)

(and yes, indeed... I feel like painting it would be easier xD Also please any customizers out there please do not use nail polish ;_; it doesn't last well (gets sticky, flakes off), and can make plastic behave weird over time. off topic but just... please. don't use nailpolish D:
eta: no offense to mandapanda if you're on here, but like.. nail polish just isn't made to last.

Yeah that is what I'm seeing. It looks like it started to come off in places
I'm pretty sure Soran might not have that white splotch because he's a light color anyhow

Edit: Ok just tried to remove a bit of it... Basically acetone barely phased it.. I had to use my nail to scratch it off after using the acetone and well this is how it looks =/

I'm interrested too, as I really don't love those ugly design... unrealistic and sad because the ponies aren't existing with normal symbols

[Goanna]

Ooh I know I've seen people  do it successfully...
I think Pyrosdarknessanny on here may have?

[sd_dreamcrystal]

I'd like to know the successful means of removing it, mainly because yeah I don't like that whole scene on the ponies

Without having hands on I can't really say, but by looking at it, I've removed some paint like that before. Possibly if he was lying on his side in a dish of acetone and soaked for 30 minutes or so, and then scraped with a flat metal object like the back edge of a knife, it would come off more readily.

[sd_dreamcrystal]

I was thinking the acetone soak but I'm a bit worried about the plastic.. I actually think I did do a tiny bit of damage to the hoof because of the acetone.. I just cannot be sure..

[Esbayne]

Well I mean, hey, on the bright side, if you did this to Soarin you wouldn't be able to see it much, right?
Maybe? xD

(I really don't like the All About ponies overly much but I really do like Soarin, even the mural thing. It's just so blue.)
