Black paint?

White spirit ?

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

White spirit, even meths or alcohol will thin the paint and allow you to remove it. Just apply some to a cloth, and wipe over.

Bit strong, might take off the original gun paint?

[dope_on_a_rope]

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

They apply that quite thick. A little bit of white spirit on a cloth should give you enough control to remove it without any adverse effects. Be at the ready with a sponge or kitchen roll if you're worried.

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

hey guys i tried nail varnish remover as well lol it just makes the body wet it doesnt do a thing to the paint :O,

i have the paint here it says:
TAMIYA COLOR
ACRYLIC PAINT

hmm not i would like to know why these tecniques arnt working because surely they should shouldnt they :S

thanks

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

They should. If the surface of the gun is glossy enough, you could probably chip it off. Although I'd stick with the nail varnish remover method.

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

ok thanks il have another go tomorrow : )

its a full metal body as well if that helps

so il put some white spirit or nail varnish remover on some tissue and the just wipe over the bits where i dont want it.

that how i should do it?
thanks

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

Well, yeah. But don't expect it to come off instantly. It'll take some work. Nail varnish remover usually comes with a brush. So paint it on the acrylic. Leave it for a bit, and then wipe it off.

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

ok thanks il give you the results tomorrow

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

Acrylic paint thinners should shift it.

Re: trademarks gone wrong :O

yep, you need acrylic thinners if its dried, its water based, normal thinners ect wont work, they are for oil based paints
