Removing colour change coating?

[Water_Fire]

I have a styling Star Catcher that's come down with that horrible affliction, where she's 'frozen' in this really patchy way thanks to her colour changing coating. I just saw one on Ponydex where the owner said she'd removed it. Has anyone else done this? I'd love to restore her to white if I could, she'd look so much better!

It is possible but it takes a little' elbow grease' so to speak. I used pure 100% acetone to get it off. Takes quite a bit of work really, but she is pretty and white again

Ok cool! Would the acetone take off her markings though?

I've wondered the same thing!  Mine is splotchy and pink too

Yes its certainly removable with acetone but in some parts the coating is really really thick and it does take a lot of elbow grease. In other parts the coating is thin enough it can come off with a magic eraser!

I have heard that some people have had luck melting it off with a heat gun but I have never seen a before and after to show how successful that is.

Yes, the acetone will possibly remove symbols and eyelashes - you will need to work around these areas with a q-tip and being very careful.

You will possibly get some other tips over in the customs forum!
