Original question answered - new question about paint stains
« on: April 20, 2012, 11:15:23 AM »
A few years ago I started experimenting with making customs just for something to do and I actually ended up liking all of the ones I did... except one  :lol:
I have no idea where I was going for the concept of it and it's driving me crazy that a perfectly good pony is just rotting away there under some bad paint job.
I used Folkart acrylic paint on here and I wasn't sure if there was any way I could remove the paint to either restore the pony (she was a perfectly minty G3 pony, idk what I was thinking at the time) or to at least get enough off where I could repaint over it to make a different custom. Unfortunately I did use black to paint the majority of her body, if that makes matters any worse  >_<  Luckily though, I didn't use any kind of sealer, so it's just the paint that needs to come off.
Thanks!


UPDATE:
I just gave her a hot, soapy bath and was really glad to see all of the paint coming off. She looks like a totally different pony  ^.^
Unfortunately though, I used red paint (same brand) around her hooves and eyes and even though the paint came off it still stained those spots a tinge red  :(  Anyone know a fix for it? If not then I'm going to either try and make up some plans to make her into a new custom or just try trading/selling her on here as bait.

Hot water, soap and a good scrubby thing should get acrylic off no problem.

Yup that sounds good to me! If its not sealed it should come off pretty easily :)

I've had the same problem with stripping red acrylics off a pony in the past. the best option for this would be sunfading.
