Quick question....

I've found paint thinner also works better than alcohol. Just be careful not to use too much, as it will start to eat the plastic if you do.

Yep, definitely do not use full-strength paint thinner at all.

 

I've used it before, and even though it STILL requires a ton of scrubbing to get the paint off, it leaves the plastic brittle.

 

I've never had any luck with rubbing alcohol, but perhaps I'm too impatient for it. Paint thinner drives me nuts how long it takes, so I'm sure it'd drive me up the wall with alcohol.

 

Different paints are different in how they come off too. Layered items, like faction symbols on top of painted areas on top of plastic, may come off faster than the layer below, or vice versa. At least that's how Alternators are painted.

And turns your figures white and makes them brittle..If the plastic goes white..You're kinda screwed.

 

That happened to me once with an Iron man fig. i was trying to make a "single colored" thing for my friend, and I realized it was turning white, thought it was cool, and ended up without a fig. Yea, I used to be pretty damn stupid. Actually, halfway through, I knew it was a goner, so i just finished the job (for internal destructive purposes :mwahaha)
