So I want to take the Sting figure from the WM battlepack and remove the rest of the face paint to make a street clothes Sting. What do you guys recommend using to remove the paint that has the least possibility to damage the plastic on the face? I've had mixed results with Acetone nail polish remover. Sometimes it's great, other times the plastic turns white. If anybody has a specific brand of something that they use with good results, please let me know. Thanks! A small amount of Goof off on a q-tip

ive had very good luck with clear finger nail polish...just paint it on let it sit for about 5 seconds and wipe it off using alittle elbow grease. worked great when I converted a bash at the beach luger into a wolfpac luger

Be careful with goof off, almost passed out one day using that stuff. It removes paint very well, but you have to use it in a well ventilated area and make sure not to get any on your skin.

In that case - use this: Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer - yes you use it for cleaning paint off your brushes but it works like acetone, WITHOUT the strong chemicals! So no passing out. I use it for that and for removing factory paint from my figures. Much less residue than acetone and you can always remove the residue with more but by being careful about it.

Goof off or lacquer thinner on a q-tip. If white residue emerges, use Testors dullcote sealer. It will restore the natural look.

arm tattoos courtesy of CurdStompCity. Thank you for this info! I was looking for decals and when you mentioned this I looked into his stuff. I ordered the Jericho tattoos for myself. Very pleased with how they turned out and I'll be ordering more soon. Thanks again.

Does the DM Hogan have the same shoulders as the Ultimate Warrior etc.?
Or are they larger?
