Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

i heard that rubbing alcohol works well with this and for a paint remover.

Just looking for some feedback

I personally have been messing around with Tamiya acrylics. I havn't had any issue with them, and they clean up unbelievably easy.
I've heard great things about the Mr Color line from Gunze Sangyo. Unfortunately, my local hobby shops do not keep stock of them. When i inquired with one of the owners, they said that they are hard to keep in stock because Gunze only ships to the United States "once or twice". I'm not sure if he meant once or twice a year, once or twice a month, once or twice ever six months etc.
I'd be interested in trying some enamels but i haven't a clue how to go about cleaning them up. If anybody would like to shed some light on that for me it would be much appreciated.

when I applied the sealant to keep the paint from coming off (especially bad on 'charger's shoulders after a couple of transformations), it started washing the paint off! And not just the paint I'd applied, the paint HASBRO applied, too.
Also, on another minor note, I'm having problems getting paint to stick to Robot Heroes Arcee's head; the texture is tacky and comes off on my fingers, as well as mixes together horribly. Any tips?

I have a simple airbrush I plan to use for larger sections and such, and I will be looking into decent smaller brushes for detailing.
The hobby shop guys I talked to recommended acrylic water based paintss and a Top loaded dual action air brush. Maybe the air brush is overkill, but I got it as a gift so I want to learn to use it.
My first project will be repainting ROTF superion into G1 colors and painting the Fans Project kit a bit as well.
Notable questions:
- How to prep the figures (with or without existing paint) Strip it all down? remove the paint apps with alcohol? Base coat over everything? no base coat, just paint?
- How to mask off ears I don't want touched, or for hard line edges? Painters tape? rubber cement?
- Should I be dis-assembling the transformers and painting the individual pieces on their own? Should I bother putting paint on ball joints?
- Clear coat everything?
Obviously I am totally in the dark, and need some good information to point me in the right direction.
thanks
