I have a prototype PYO griffin that I half-painted, but now I want to do something else with it… how should I go about removing the old colors?
The paints aren’t too thick, I COULD paint over them, but I’d rather find out if there’s another way first.
Some replies from other PYO repaint threads

Dip the q-tip and dab where you want to remove paint, you have to give it a few moments, then you can rub it off with your finger or an old toothbrush.
That’s how I work. 🙂

Maybe try nail polish remover with acetone, if there is such a thing anymore, it might be gentler, or try the actone in a small spot first.

I should add that I’ve found out acetone is kind of toxic. It takes paint off a little better than rubbing alcohol, but I’ve switched to using alcohol for most things, as breathing toxic fumes on a regular basis probably isn’t a good idea.
