DalekCheese Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I am trying to repaint a plastic (I think PVC) model. Should I strip the paint off before repainting? If so, how? Would a bath of stripper (ooer, missus) work? Thanks in advance, DalekCheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Hi, DalekCheese (LOVE your avatar name BTW). It would be helpful to know a few more details. If your model is made of PVC and then factory-painted, I would recommend you simply spray it with car-primer (Halfords or similar) and then add your own colour-scheme. Stripping the original paint seems like a faff too far to me. To a large degree, this will all depend on exactly what you want the finished product to look like. Hope this helps.

DalekCheese Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks! I may well just prime it. And don’t text and pedal! You can be very seriously fined for that! Dangerous to swans, dontcha know! But thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
