Sidearm Sideswipe paint question

[kdj771]

can the red on sidearm sideswipe be removed? is it just silver plastic with red paint on top?

also are people finding this wave is less common than the others all across canada? i know thats the case in alberta

There certainly seem to be more of the previous wave (Jetblade, Sea attack Ravage, etc.) than there are of the sidearm sideswipe wave.

I haven't tried removing the red, but I really can't imagine what else it could be but red paint on silver plastic.

I believe Isopropyl alcohol will get off the paint, but you don't want to let clear plastic parts sit in it, as it "fogs" them up. (Might want to wait for someone more experienced to confirm that, but I'm 80% sure that's right).

I'd try a lot of rubbing alcohol. Don't blame me if something goes wrong, that just seems to be the best way I can think of.

The plastic under the red and under the silver is the dark gray plastic that's on the underside so if you remove it with rubbing alcohol that's what you'll get.
