How to remove silver paint, Haslab Proton Pack?

Equipment Proton Packs

Hey, guys.

I’d like to strip off the “weathering” silver paint and reapply my own. What would be the best thing to use? I’m afraid of melting the plastic and making a big ol mess.

Thanks!

Rubbing alcohol should take it right off.

Another post somewhere (Reddit or here, a 1984 conversion) used Magic Eraser

It doesn’t. Alcohol >90% rubbed the weathering on the Hasbro wand off but doesn’t remove it from the pack. I still don’t know for sure what will.

I used a magic eraser and rubbing alcohol. Takes some time, but it comes off. You can see my results in my build thread

I found the same. I used airbrush cleaner, but the silver came right off the wand, but not the pack. I wound up just weathering over the silver on the pack and I think it looks fine. Once I got to paint chipping and stuff you can barely see the original silver anymore.
