Hey
I've got some metal figures which were painted by someone else. They're high quality castings but were mucked up by their last owner. I know a couple of them are recent Pegaso figures and couple are older ones, like Cameo 54mm from the 70s.
I'm not sure how to determine if they're coated in acrylics or enamels, and as such not sure what to strip them with and not damage the casting metal or gum up the exisiting paint with the wrong solvent. I've done this before, so...
Suggestions please for SAFE stripping methods for metal figures.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
