How To Strip Paint Off Models For Warhammer 40k

Here I show you how I strip second hand models! Always satisfying and someone requested it a while ago so why not share something I know. have a wonderful rest of your day!

so, I just did this, bough everything i needed, 1st try, 90% of the paint and all came off. perfection! doing the 2nd dip now, so much happier with this style than the one i was using! so much easier to do! thank you so much!!!

A recommendation when rinsing under the tap - you can do it over a sieve/mesh strainer. Nothing worse than losing bits down the pipes 😂

This reminds me that there are some drowned stormcast still in simple green from a month ago.

99% is great for budget, and I’ve used it personally. Out of everything I’ve used myself, GSW Paint Killer is the best. Factory fresh results.

I use denatured alcohol (camping fuel). You can even pour it back into the can and reuse it.

Damn, thanks for make it so simple 🎉, im subscribing

Great video! Do you rinse the model between dips in the alcohol? I've only ever used Simple Green and L.A.'s Totally Awesome. You're right those take a lot longer. I might have to try alcohol next time.

The first time I used alcohol, I was pretty blown away. It did the job in under an hour. Unfortunately, that was the only time it worked for me as well as it did. I switched over to LAs Totally Awesome. And I have found that an hour is good enough to strip it down with even the primer.

What do you do with the isopropyl when it’s done? How do you dispose of it?

[mikieswart]

i got a really crappy finish from army painter matte black primer and i've been soaking my entire tactical squad for like two days now in ipa... that stuff just will not come off :( i used the more common 70% ipa at first, then bought some 91% and they're swimming in it now, hopefully it works this time

so another tip - either practice on some spare sprues, or prime one model at a time until you're absolutely sure you're gonna get a good prime!

You can use the isopropyl alcool in a ultrasonic bath, it do most of the work and helps a lot for cleaning hard to reach spot

Does Isopropanol attacking the minis if i forgeting to take it out?

[Firedrake-fg]

So imagine that not everyone lives in the USA and as such LA's Totally Awesome is not available to us. So the question I have is, what is the product? What is its function when not stripping mini's? Maybe I can get a similar product here.

i tried some primer on a miniature, but it came out with a sandy/rough texture. isopropyl alcohol didnt do anything, what should i use in this case?

[harryh]

Are there separate considerations for resin? For example I have a GW plastic model with 3D printed resin bits. Will this still work or will I damage my boy?

[konkeyming]

Would this also work for resin models? I'm currently trying to rescue a Forgeworld resin Verminlord I got from ebay and don't want to damage it accidentally

[jasonrodney]

Great tips. Thanks. Liking your channel.

[livingroomtv]

can i reuse the IPA after stripping one mini?

[diosdadolumbi]

Do you have to use gloves and can you brush the paint off barehanded after they’re done?

[chestersleezer]

I use Super Clean which can be found at Walmart put the miniatures in and let them sit. Does not damage plastic and I have stripped hundreds of miniatures this way.
