Custom TROS A-wing

(1/3) > >>

StBrianOfMinneapolis:
Im looking to make a Custom green TROS A-wing out of the many extra TLJ a-wings I picked up.
Can anyone recommend a paint thinner that will work safely with modern hasbro plastic to strip of the blue paint.

CorranHorn:
Testors should work. And if it doesn’t, based on the darkness of the green you could probably just paint right over the blue without much issue.

Jesse James:
Yeah I’d be wary of a full strip on a plastic area that large.  May wanna just paint over.  But assuming you’re dismantling to do this, I would try it out on the inside area of the ship dismantled first.  Try some nail polish remover or acetone on a cloth rag in a small area to see how it reacts with the plastic.

Matt_Fury:
Definitely use mineral spirits and not acetone if you try to remove paint.  Acetone will dissolve the plastic.

Jesse James:
Acetone doesn’t dissolve all plastics only certain ones.  I’m not sure new awings aren’t a pvc type plastic which acetone tends not to damage.
