I need help with a custom...

[Little_Bird_Sorrel]

     I am working on a g2 custom. The bait pony is Dainty Dove. My problem is that none of the paint will come off.
     I tried to wipe and scrub off the paint with nail polish remover. This usually works in one to three minutes. However, only a ridiculously small amount came off of her eyes. Her symbol, on the other hand, just won't budge. I am at a lost. Should I remove the paint with something else or should I just paint over it? Thank you for your time.

Did you try to soak the paint? Like, press a cotton pad to the symbol and hold it there for a minute or two, then wipe? Or even pour some out into a dish and stick the rump or the eyes in it?

If that still fails, Goof off works well also.

I never thought of that. I'll go try it right now. Thank you


...It did not work, but thank you anyway. I won't use Goof off. It is toxic, and I don't like the idea of having to use it. Thanks anyway.

Sometimes when that happens I either soak it in acetone or just angrily scrape it off with an x-acto, but that usually leaves ugly scratch marks. I only use the latter option when I know I'm going to do a FBR anyways.

Painting over it may work if you use many coats or dark colors.

Get some Goof-off or industrial strength adhesive remover.  This stuff will knock a buzzard off a gut wagon but still won't damage your plastic.

But please, USE IT OUTDOORS!

     That sounds like a plan. She is an FBR, so that might work. I'll use this as a last resort. Thank you very much .

     It could knock out a buzzard? I'm scared of what it could do to a dog... 
     I'm going to avoid the Goof-off at all costs. It's a bit too dangerous for me. Thanks anyway

Are you using nail polish remover or 100% acetone?  Nail polish remover has a tendency to just smear the paint around.  You can pick up 100% acetone at Wal-Mart or Target in the nail section for a couple of bucks.  Good luck!

You can also find it in the hardware section by the can for a couple bucks.

I know you don't want to use goof off, but I have two cats and they have never got I'll from me using it. Just like acetone or nail polish remover, make sure the area is well ventilated. It works superbly.

Pure acetone is pretty awesome...I bet it would work fine  Good luck!

     Thanks for your help everyone. I recently went out to buy some nail polish remover with acetone in it. (It turns out that it works much better than the non-acetone one that i was using . I guess that was the real problem). Also, I tried the soaking the painted parts of the pony. That works like a charm.
     I've been really busy lately, but I hope to finish this custom before June ends.
     Once again, I thank all of the patient people who helped me.

Ma'am yes ma'am!

When you run out of nail polish remove, try 100% pure acetone next time. It works even better!
