Hope someone with experience removing paint residue on PVC figurines can help me with this, but I've recently come into purchase of a lovely PVC figurine of Ignis the White which unfortunately has some red paint residue on her white wedding dress. >_< Does anybody know how to remove it? I've tried normal water and a toothbrush but I couldn't remove it. I then tried using a sponge which did manage to remove it to a certain extent, but also the white airbrush paint on the wedding dress! Luckily since the dress is white and slightly see through, it's not visible to the naked eye unless you look really, really closely. Still, the red paint residue is an eyesore. Any suggestions? Should I take it to a professional model airbrush shop to airbrush it? EDIT: I've added a picture of the paint residue. Would greatly appreciate it if anybody could help me with this.

A very very dumb thing happened when I was building me MG Destiny, and I lost a part. Was wondering if there's any kind sould here who's got a MG Destiny who's nice enough to pinjam me that missing part for a day or 2, for me to make an epoxy cast out of it?  The missing piece is A20 This post has been edited by fyire: Jan 8 2008, 11:40 PM

After mixing the 2 parts of epoxy putty together, don't apply right away. Let it harden slightly first. You'll need to experiment a bit on this, as you'll need it to be hard enough so that it dun attack the plastic, but still soft enough where you can press it into place. When duplicating damaged or missing parts, dusting the part to be duplicated with baby powder before pressing it into the epoxy helps a lot too.

If I want to paint over a certain part of an already pre-painted PVC anime figurine, what kind of paint, materials, and brushes should I use?

QUOTE(Ruff Bark @ Jan 9 2008, 02:54 AM) If I want to paint over a certain part of an already pre-painted PVC anime figurine, what kind of paint, materials, and brushes should I use? This will depend a lot on what sort of paint's used to cover the piece, and also the finishing of it. The trickiest bit will be to match the paint already on the figuring itself, so you wont get a splotch that's out of place. Hand brushing might be a bit tough to do. Using an airbrush will be the easiest, although you may have to sand slightly at the spot that you want to spray over first to avoid the paint in that area getting too thick.

Thanks! Next question: can you recommend any good model shops in PJ that offer repainting services? From the looks of the costs of the airbrush kits, they look too expensive for me to buy for one-time use only since I'm not a hardcore figurine enthusiast and I don't want to muck up the job myself.
