How would to I fix this paint app error?

[Buhawi]

Time to take half of the paint off? From the first try post to know. Take a few minutes off since I'm cooking breakfast at the same time.

Thanks guys, I'll try the eraser one first and then if not I'll go for the alcohol. I'll post my results!

Also I just now saw that the title of my post added a random "to" in there, stupid phone keyboards :P

[Spleenzorio]

Alrighty so I used the eraser method and I'm quite impressed!



Thanks again guys

I see yellow spilling on some parts too.

Glad it worked.

I decided to go further with the eraser and erase the two tone faded window look.

The windshield. You can see a huge different between the faded part and the one I worked on.



First window is clear now. The second window to show you how it works. It smudges at first then after some work it becomes clear.









Pretty fucking damn good.

I'm surprised how well an eraser works, I'm going to have to try that.

I did some further tests with my white staedler eraser.

I can't erase every single paint app.

No luck getting through with the light blue but it did erase the white clearly and easily off.


Different result here. Nothing. it just removed clear that was used.


Again a different result here. It did remove it but it was clearly harder to remove. It took out more eraser than paints apps.


I suspect different eraser composition will work with different paint apps. I can't wait for rumble619 to tell us which brand of pink eraser he uses for different paint apps.

Here's a blog for some girl's eraser collection.

If I remember correctly, the ruby and union erasers have some texture on them.



Pink pearl perhaps?

With my white staedler, you can clearly tell if it will work if the paint app sticks to the eraser bits.

Like the eraser solution.

I wonder if this would work for the battle damage on Hasbro's original 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime?

Might be dating myself here, but does anyone remember when "erasers" were called "rubbers"?

Hmm, I recall flip flops being called "thongs", but not erasers called "rubbers" maybe that was a parental cover story?
