So, I'm about to to get the Jon Moxley Unrivaled 2 figure, and I want to remove the scar above his eye. Will I be able to use acetone? Or will I have to paint over it? If I must paint, is there any paint that can work just there and then, or would I need to combined paints? Could that Citadel Cadian Fleshtone paint work?

If I must paint, is there any paint that can work just there and then, or would I need to combined paints? Could that Citadel Cadian Fleshtone paint work? Hmm... I don't know for sure. I can almost certainly tell you that straight Cadian Fleshtone won't work. Cadian is very rose/orange and wouldn't come close to matching the Unrivaled 2 Mox. (I'm going by photos here, I only have the Unrivaled 5 mox and I'm not sure if they are the same skintone)
Kislev Flesh would be closer and, while there is one shade of Mattel WWE flesh that matches Kislev exactly, (I don't know what you would call it but it's the one the E80 Bayley has), I doubt that an AEW figure would share that same exact paint match.
All that said, Acetone would be a horrible idea. Working that close to the eye? Considering how difficult removing paint from the faces is, you would be better off painting it. But, yeah, you'd likely have to mix paints.
My three go-to flesh blenders are Kislev Flesh, Cadian Fleshtone, and Ungor Flesh. I've found that I can make almost any caucasian skintone with those three. If you need to make a super-pale figure, add White Scar, but that's not necessary here.
My advice? Grab a bottle cap and start blending. Then, using a fine detail brush, paint a bit on a hand. If it dries to match, you know you have the right shade and move on to the face. If not, try again. Either way, hands are much easier to acetone clean than faces (and for the love of heck don't acetone torsos!) and with a bit on a q-tip, your test-patch will be good as gone.
Do be careful not to get the acetone on the wrist tape though. Remember, tiny bit on the q-tip. Don't soak it. It's better to rub harder than it is to drown it and remove paint you don't want to.
Hope this helps!
