Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Forgot to ask, but how should I start stripping the paint off? Immerse the parts for a certain amount of time and use a toothbrush?

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Thats a good start. Limit the time in the solution till you know what it will do to the plastic. Iso shouldn't hurt it, but it can make it soft. The clear parts tend to react worse. You may need to use something like a qtip or swab. A toothbrush may not work so well.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Everything RG76 is great info.
I'll only add with some shameless self promotion some vids I did for YT, if you want a step by step approach.

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
Don't substitute nail polish remover for iso alchohol. Nailpolish remover will dissolve your TF's plastic. (Fortunately I found this out tonight in time before any real damage was done...)
Also, Testors hobby sanding films are very nice.

I tried remover before too, the exact one Encline mentions in person and in his tutorial. I have to say it really does eat away at plastic.
My comment is not meant to bash Encline cause he does great work!

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
This may be a dumb question, but how long should you wait before applying a second or third coat of paint? I'm using enamel and acrylic.

Brushing I assume?
Acrylic, 20-30mins
Enamel, 3 to 4 hours
If you see that your "pulling paint" on you next coat with either paints, stop & let it flash longer.
