Stripping paint

Can we use other type of brush? I don't think we have any available toothbrush at home.

Well, either you can wait until your current toothbrush is worn out and not fit to brush teeth with anymore. Then you can use it to brush off paint instead.

If you use Simple Green I have found that you can use softer brushes than a toothbrush. For example an older paintbrush that's too old for painting with worked fine to remove most of the paint with.

Great, I'll just wash my sister's brushes. They've gone hard because of the paint, she's unable to wash off. :smirk:

Basically any small brush that's soft enough to not damage the miniature but stiff enough to remove the paint. You can also use toothpicks to carefully scrape out colour from crevices that you can't reach with a brush.

I use Windex - easy to find and works great - simple green also will do the trick. Have heard of using brake fluid and coca cola, but have never nor likely to try those! (LOL!)

DOT III Brake Fluid works wonderfully and does not damage plastic. It does make glue very brittle, so you will more than likely have to reassemble the mini after stripping the paint.
