RKSimm Yeah just used that product for removing logos on King Booker elite, and didn't work as well as I had hoped. Took like an hour to finish. I think it's the nature of the hard plastic vs softer like for the limbs. I ended up removing it all, but did leave a minor amount of residue (much less than acetone would) and I managed to hide most of it on the torso. I will tidy it up more later. As with acetone, got to be careful, and use the steps I mentioned. After every wipe, just rinse with water or scrub with an old tooth brush with dish soap - anything to remove the solvent off the figure before it's left on too long and eats the harder plastics. Do it even on soft ones. No more than a few seconds. It also ate the plastic a bit on some areas of the crotch, but because I did the rinse after each time, and then went over the areas that began to break down, it buffed the area and made it smooth again. So overall - better than acetone but still not all round perfect. Anyway, here's a quick WIP and to show you how well it worked: Looks great man! I've been busy as of late but I will try this with my pink Ziggler ASAP!

So, I'm currently trying to remove all of E40 Rick Rude designs on his tights (from my Ziggler fix-up a page back). If you've seen how much the design it has on the backside, think that will remove all of it with relative ease? Have you used any regular acetone/paint removal product? I would say that it comes off just as easily, maybe slightly more. I think it lifts stuff in crevices a bit more cleanly. You need to use the same sort of force to wipe off though, but may result in less passes trying to remove the logos, meaning less time needed. Just make sure to soak a paper towel square (not a large paper towel, since the little squares are easy to discard, I go for about 1 inch square or less and fold twice or 4 times to make it thicker), press on firmly, with enough force then wipe in one direction trying to not wipe down to areas where there is no logo, since it can smudge (which can be removed later even if it happens). Then discard the paper square, rinse the figure under warm water, dry off and repeat. New square each time. Will need about 2 passes before the logo looks sufficiently starting to remove, then will need another 2-3 passes to take it off completely. For the hard plastic like on the crotch, just repeat those steps, but be careful of over exposing the solvent to the plastic, because there may be residue left. I have had relatively little left, and I always make sure to rinse in the water each time. And then scrub with dish soap right after finishing. PS don't use cotton buds/Q-tips since they get used quickly (you waste a lot), don't get the same force needed for the wiping since they're not tough enough. I say this because a lot of people use them. If there is the white residue, use a brush on paint sealer to hide it. I like Testor's Dullcote Lacquer for all my logo work that need brush on sealing. Has severe health warnings if breathed in though lol, so I wear a mask. Hope it helps! This is more than helpful. Thank you!!

Amazing sculpting on the mask and great paints Chargrove! AlexWestCollects - for paint removal, I have been using this and it works wonders: Winsor & Newton - Brush cleaner and restorer for dried acrylic & oil colour. Make sure to get that EXACT product. It works much the same as acetone, with the same effectiveness, but has added benefit. It doesn't leave much of residue AT ALL. Maybe a little, but if you soak a little square of paper towel, wipe hard in one direction, and immediately rinse under cold water and repeat those exact steps everytime until it is totally removed - it shouldn't leave residue. Remember to only wipe in one direction and discard each paper square after you use it. Use an new one each time. It doesn't need to be diluted and is not harsh or has any strong smell. Really is a perfect product in my opinion. I have been taking off logos left and right here.

No Mercy 2016 Dolph Ziggler Need to paint the black logos and such on the tights pink, and I can't make decals so this is good for me until we get an official one.

Quick question. What is the best way to remove logos/decals from tights/trunks without staining the figure? I've seen some great work on here with turning Macho king elite trunks into the Neon Green Sting.

What is the best body to use for a current Ziggler with pants? I don't know how to torso swap either; only paint. Thanks

Randy Orton Unforgiven 2004 custom. Took about 2 hours for the tights. Details on it were a pain in the neck. If anyone can make decals for the logos on his tights in all kinds of colors, PLEASE let me know. For now, by hand will have to do. I now have all of his World Title attires from his 2004 run, including the suited celebration night after Summerslam one.

Yeah we need an Elite Legend Killer bad. Don't say it's not a big want because they make obscure wrestlers who've never won titles like Tugboat, Earthquake, Bo Dallas, Big Boss Man, etc.... yawn. They need to make actual world champions in gimmicks that haven't been done yet, enter Legend Killer.

If it doesn't happen this year then it's not that hard to make a legends killer orton. I'll help if need be Oh I already have a bunch of Elite Legend Killers, I just want an official Mattel one, ya know? I'd like to see what boxart they come up with if it would be DM. I want one mainly for the boxes tbh. But thank you!
