Im worried about using 100% acetone to remove the paint on my figure so I used "non-acetone" nail polish remover and it worked well. It was a bit slower than I had imagined but still worked. I am not sure if 100% acetone will damage the plastic/melt etc. on the figure. Have you had any problems using 100% acetone? and have you tried "non-acetone"?

Hey, bud, I have those old LJN WWF wrestling figures made out of rubber, and I want to get the paint smudges on their rubber skin off. The skin isn't painted, but rather just the color of the molded rubber. What can I use to take the paint off? I heard gas or nail polish remover, but I just thought I'd ask.

Wow... that was a helpful video... i was hoping to learn what kinda primer is best, how to actually SPRAY the primer on (showing us the motion and such) and on and on.. but now that i know all about Acetone im set to go! lol

@snlbank21 It depends on the toy and how much you play with it, but for most figures, regular acrylic paint that you can find at any art supply or craft store works well.

It's 'Ace' tone not 'Asse' tone

@Humbert042 The spelling can be confusing, but it is pronounced ass-i-tone :)

I painted some toys with acrylic paints. What can I use to coat them so the paint won't rub off?

@Kakorone We often use Krylon Acrylic Crystal Clear. It's a clear spray to seal your paint and it comes in either glossy or matte. You should be able to find it just about anywhere that sells spray paint. It works well on most projects, although depending on what you're painting, some toys/surfaces can still remain slightly tacky/sticky afterward.
