Hello everyone!
I haven't really been on here recently but as school is getting closer to ending and vacation almost here I hope to finally start my Spartan suit. I have a question though relating to a piece I already have... the helmet. It is a ODST helmet I got on Etsy about a year ago at this point and I was wonder what could be done to strip the paint on it without harming the helmet. It was painted before I thought about making a body and I have learned of other painting techniques since then. It's a PETG plastic molded helmet and it was painted using some Rustolium spray paint and acrylic brush paint.
I have a piece from where the visor was hole was cut so I can test stuff before hand, I just am worried about sanding as I do not want to lose any detail and also since it already got the intense sanding treatment from when it was painted the first time.
Thanks!
