I recently scored some joyride halo toys. I snagged 6 mini CE spartans, a halo 2 steel spartan and a halo CE master chief. Unfortunately the halo 1 chief has been "custom painted" with battle damage, but it really doesnt look all that great. As you can see in the picture. Does anyone here know to remove the paint without messing up the original color?
Im also a newfag. So i unfortunately cant tell what kind of paint it is. Also look at dat smexy ass
Another shot
Seems like all of the halo 1 master chiefs are "Battle damaged" as in the marks on yours aren't also custom but rather the grey paint splogged into the holes is. There are also those weird bright green highlights on yours which are not on the original.
God those pouches look awful.

The bright green is the original color. Someone attempted to make battle damage look more worn. Its bad and its painted on. What can i take it off with that wont harm the original color?

you could try nail polish remover but VERY SPARINGLY or youll melt the plastic
but it does take paint off super fast

If it's acylic you could just submerge it in soapy water for a day and scrub it off with a tooth brush.
Enamel is a bit trickier, lacquer would be gg though.
There's a whole fucking thread devoted to this kind of thing, Sunshine.
You think you're too good to post there and ask?

Alright thanks man
Hold up, are we sure this isn't the Battle-damaged repaint? Because Joyride did make a battle-damaged repaint of this Master Chief figure.
Yeah Op, that's the battle damaged repaint. Not a custom.
snagged this figure myself a few years ago. seller had no idea of it's worth. trying to collect all the joyride figs

It was a battle damage edition chief. But it is a repaint. The original battle damage doesnt look this bad. The repaint on it makes the my figure look black. And the paint on the pouches is terrible.

It's not a custom job, it's the Gamestop battle-damaged exclusive figure. It has all the same paint marks as the one you posted.
