Advice on how to remove the paint from these miniatures.
Hi! I have a collection of Tamagotchi figures and I wanted to have a version of unpainted figures. So I come here to ask for some help. I want to strip the paint but there's no result. I’ve tried all the liquids shown in the picture (including turpentine). Nail polish remover only makes the paint slippery—it doesn’t stick to the cotton—and it’s difficult to remove the paint layer. 97% alcohol doesn’t do anything. Degreaser doesn’t work either. I bought a paint stripper for scale miniatures, but it doesn’t completely remove the paint, and if I press too hard, the plastic turns whitish.
I’ve come to the conclusion that these figures aren’t painted with acrylic paint but with enamel instead. They’re from 1998, so maybe the paint has bonded too strongly over time. However, I’d like to find some product that would allow me to get the figures 100% monochromatic.
