Removing paint from Resin

[cerebralerebus]

Does anyone know of an effective method for removing paint (undercoat and basecoat) from forgeworld resin minatures. We are talking about a war-mammoth here so needless to say I don\'t want to risk ruining the model; only tried and tested solutions please.

Thanks

Hiya....

I have the Chaos War Mammoth, so I know you want to be careful with it.

I found this on the web....

and this quote:

To strip a RESIN KIT I use DEEP DOWN STAIN STRIPPER. I found it at Home Depot in the paint section, it comes in a red spray can. It is used for stripping the stain and varnish off of wooden items. On resin, it starts to work almost immediately and NO FUMES. I haven\'t tried it on vinyl yet, so you\'re on your own there. But for resin, it\'s teriffic!


BUT...I have not tried any of these myself, so I can\'t vouch for the effectiveness....

Maybe just try a small area, or another painted resin (cheaper one) first?
