Oh, I think day 1 has gone really well! Do you think an oxyclean bath and good scrubbing with a toothbrush would help with the pink staining?

Wow, she is looking much better already! :)

Careful sun-fading may be the best option for the pink staining. Pink is the worst...

Unfortunately pink marks usually don't wash away. Your best bet is to wrap her up with tinfoil and only expose the parts you want sunfaded. Full sun, time and occasional re-positioning is what will help her.

Restoring Powder day 2-3. I got back from my Vacation and got the time again to work on her. She’s now all done of the sticky coat she had. Dont ask what it was. A mix of bacteria and dust I guess. All her Glitter is gone. I had to remove the Cutie Mark. but I will repaint it later. She still had some Pink Glue/Paint between the body and her head. But I removed it by carefully slicing it away with a knife. Now I will hopefully be able to sunfade the marks away. I also need help on how to restore her right hoof as you can see on the pic. After the sunfading I will do her hair and the finishing body cleaning. And then repaint the CM.

Good work so far! I think you should take her head off, put her in hot water and then gently push her leg from the inside so it returns to it's original shape.

Ah I wasnt sure if that was gonna work since it perhaps shapes back. But I will try it. :)

This was what I was about to suggest. Not only that, but if you open her up, you can be extra sure to get all of the glitter that seeped inside the neck and possibly inside the pony.

She looks great so far. :frolic:

Awwwww, she looks lovely! I kind of think the original paint, reimagined by a proper custom artist and better supplies, might be neat too. :)

And some hours later and... IT WORKED! :D I also reposed her a bit. Her behind legs were a bit too close to eachother. I will only post After Pics. Since you can see the before ones more up this page. :) Thanks everyone for the positive comments! I will make her ready for sunfading tommorow. Any tips? Im planning to put her in a plastic transculent bag outside against the birds and have her wrapped up in foil. But I head there was something with sunfading purple ponies? Ah well. Some tips would help me alot! :)
