hyejinx1984 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 So I'm trying to make a Tigra custom. I'm using sdtarfire's head and hair and cheetah's body right now. Now, tigra, obviously, is a tiger, not a cheetah... so I'm going with an xacto knife and slowly scraping off all of cheetah's spots so I can paint stripes over. Is this stupid, is there a better way to get the paint off? The plastic itself is orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I get some stuff called Goof Off from the hardware store. Put a little on a rag or Q-tip and it rubs the paint off instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I get some stuff called Goof Off from the hardware store. Put a little on a rag or Q-tip and it rubs the paint off instantly. Yep I'll second this method. Of course it means you take all the detail off, if you're looking to keep the "female definition" then the v.sharp blade scraping is more precise. T.

hyejinx1984 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yea, been sticking with the scraping so far. For the stripes, should I just do precise paints/sharpy application, or maybe get all black stickers and cut them in the shape of stripes and stick them on?
