Here is a quick how to: remove paint ... Easy as cake but be careful when using acetone (nail polish remover) get an adult to help you! Thanks for watching Hope this helps and you all enjoy
Hey dude, I just figured something out! You can take microfiber towel and do the same thing only faster and easier. I tried it yesterday. I took a yellow microfiber towel and dabbed some acetone on it then I started cleaning the white paint off of Bullseye body. It was so fast, and using my experience with acetone, I didn't damage the plastic at all. Keep it in mind and give it a shot, it's way easier than the Q-tip method. Plus you use less acetone. Oh yeah and the best part is that no little fibers get stuck to the plastic if you coat it with a little too much acetone.
I tried to use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to remove some excess acrylic paint from a figure and very little paint came off! The bottle is old (Expired 7/2011), so maybe that had something to do with it? I don't want to use acetone, because you can see in this video how the plastic looks a little rough after use.
Haaaa! Swiper no swiping! Man, I really enjoyed this. I was googling how to strip action figures and I liked thisnvid so much o went back to watch the whole thing.
Poundz, just wanted to say that using your technique, much better result for stripping paint than what I use to do. Thanks for the video and thanks for helping step my game up.
Go for the cracks first, remember acetone is etching that plastic as well and makes the plastic have a dried “white” appearance. If you throw a black wash on the whole figure evenly usually everything looks even again.
Thank u so much! This really helps a lot! I was gonna use sand paper to remove the pink paint so I could have a "powered down" Black Panther. This really would really make my life better haha
Thanks for these type vids bro!! I don't have an artistic bone in my body unfortunately but dig seeing the process! Would love to see ya branch out to other marvel characters, I didn't realize their were so many Spidey characters until checking out your channel. Keep up the good work man!
:0 just think of all the hard work those little Chinese children did painting those lines........;) cool info, I do 'custom' star wars figures using marvel stuff, and I'm getting ready to do "advance" stuff, off to watch your other vids :)
I just came across your channel randomly in my recommended, highly satisfied man, good personality, good content, informational on a subject I love. It’s hard to find good custom tutorials let alone a good channel based on it, happy new subscriber and good luck man bless up
That's official Poundz!!! I wish this video was out before I started removing the paint of my WASP figure. I used the same techniques and even the same acetone but I went in a little too soaked on her lower torso and those damn white hairs left by the Qtips are a pain in the ass. Oh well, c'est la vie!!!! Also found out the hard way to use the paper stem type Qtips. Plastic ones get eaten by that acetone. Thanks for putting this out there for us all!!! Appreciate you bro!!!
Dude love your videos. I just got into customizing but your video tips have helped me out a lot. Thanks btw haven't found a figure you have done yet that has not been amazingly well done.
You can dip in a bowl of purple power it will remove all the paint. leave in for a few hours than wipes away once you pull out much better than acetone .
Hey, I just did this to remove the paint from the belt buckle on my Beast figure because it was painted incorrectly, but now I'm worried if the nail polish remover might somehow eat the plastic.
Thanks! Will use on my jawa sandcrawler,hasbro employed a dog to crap on it! Looks like yellow caca sprayed everywhere,this will definantly work cleaning this mess,cheers!
I know you should know it by now but be this message for all those who are in doubt. Acetone is quite volatile, if you want to save acetone and your health, use it in a well ventilated area and keep the bottle ALWAYS closed. Also acetone WILL MELT most plastics so only use it if you are very sure that the polymer you use it on does not reacts to acetone. Isopropyl alcohol works better without the plastic melting factor. Anyhow, use it in a ventilated area and VERY AWAY from any fire source.
Belze alcohol does not work better .... acetone will not melt plastic from a wipe with a q- tip... unless you let it saturate your plastic surface ..... Make a video and show me how better alcohol is when removing paint. I’ll def watch
Belze very true .. and i do appreciate your comment... and i also agree to ALWAYS keep the cap on the acetone ... maybe I’ll make a more in depth review
Good video and hope your custom turns out well! don’t really get why everyone wants to remove the pink paint from this guy, that stuff glows under black light which looks amazing plus we see that glowing costume a lot in the movie. But to each his own!
Damn, Acetone? That doesn't harm the plastic of the figure at all? I spilt acetone on this plastic table once and it just started melting the entire table. The way I learned to remove paint was to soak the piece in 90% Isopropal alcohol for a few hours
Ok I'm new at this I got a native American action figure and I just wanna costumize it into a. Spiderman regular normal Spidey but I'm using as paint remover with nail polish my mom's polish I try to swipe it like u. But I guess its thick as hell the. Paint. On this figure. Thanks for the. Video.
Thank you for the video tutorial! After removing the pink highlights, do i need to add any sealant to the same area? I just want a version without the highlights.
Gonna be doing this on the same figure to make a Spawn custom. I did this a while back on a DCUC figure and found that the acetone also eats at the chest quicker because it's a different type of plastic used for most torsos on action figures, like I guess because the plastics is harder it breaks down quicker or something. that's just my guess though.
Your videos have inspired me, I'm going to be making my first custom when the Black Series Han Solo from solo comes out, I'll be painting the jacket yellow to make a comic book version Luke Skywalker. It's simple but it's better to start simple right?
Hi. Your video is really helpful. I just got an Emma Frost action figure -the one with the black outfit- and her face has a little spot, like a little mole in her right cheek, and it has the color of her lipstick, which is blue. I was wondering, I guess the basic color the head is skin like color, so if i apply a little bit of remover, would that come of? or would the intensity of the skin color get affected?
You don’t have to remove the old paint The reason I did is cause I wanted to use the all black body without having to sand joints on a different color figure
I use spray acrylic clear coat sprayed into a plastic cup and brushes or qtips. Safest way I've found to do it. The cheap shit in the blue cans where they sell apple barrel paint and other paints that shouldn't be used on customs is the best stuff to use. You won't take off plastic, just paint. Trust me, it works and won't damage anything at all.
Thanks for this vid.. would this method work well on Storm-Colectibles figures?? I'm planning on getting a MK3 Scorpion and paint him blue, cause I can't find a MK3 masked Sub-Zero that's not a ridiculous price
I have not seen the movie yet so it may look much better on the screen but this pink paint looks terrible in my opinion. You have completely redeemed this figure by removing the pink paint.
Thanks For the Q tips
jayelit 😂
Instant respect
*Dies*
Who's stronger, captain America, or super man? "I know but I don't care." *ROASTED*
😂
Superman lmao
You missed it though. She actually said "I know who's stronger. 'I don't care'."

5:08 - what grit of sandpaper should be used to sand down a figure when it gets like that
Go for the cracks first, remember acetone is etching that plastic as well and makes the plastic have a dried “white” appearance. If you throw a black wash on the whole figure evenly usually everything looks even again.
pseudoprodigy yes the plastic will dry, but I always paint on afterwards and seal when done and the figure looks clean and one tone once done
Thank u so much! This really helps a lot! I was gonna use sand paper to remove the pink paint so I could have a "powered down" Black Panther. This really would really make my life better haha
Yeah, I like this buck and that head sculpt, and think I might cop and do something similar because I don't care for the highlights either.
Superman without a doubt no question. Good video man keep it up
But is superman worthy?
I came for the paint tips.
I stayed for the rap. That was clean.
Thanks for these type vids bro!! I don't have an artistic bone in my body unfortunately but dig seeing the process! Would love to see ya branch out to other marvel characters, I didn't realize their were so many Spidey characters until checking out your channel. Keep up the good work man!
This is very helpful, and I loved the bit in the beginning with the kid. XD
I want to give props to you Poundz. It is nice to see an emcee that does custom work. I am learning a lot. Peace.

Can you do a video on skin flesh tone?
Can't wait for the agent venom custom!!!
And also thanks for the tip on removing paint!!!!!
Thanks for the info and the dope tracks.
Dude I love the song you used when you took of the decal. Appreciate the tips! Subbed
Amazing video man, I want to paint some new star wars guys and wasn't sure where to start
My man!!! I was just thinking about taking the paint off pink panther and then you posted a how to, you’re the man!
Andrew Porter great minds think alike
Hands down most underated marvel legends collecter u should be more poppin other people just use clickbait
Hell yeah, Agent Venom needs a redo. Thought I’d be cool to see how that Black Panther looks without paint. That head sculpt seems really nice.
Thabk you, this was very helpful. There's a 2B figure I want, but there's no kit, so I was gonna buy a bootleg and repaint it lol
Great tutorial man really love how informative you are on this. Gonna see about doing this on a figure one day for a custom
EXACTLY what i was looking for
Here’s a good one also th-cam.com/video/bFDOJjI03sU/w-d-xo.html
Thats a very good video... an idea i didn't think about
That's official Poundz!!! I wish this video was out before I started removing the paint of my WASP figure.

Bro thank you for making the video! I am so going to make an agent venom with that figure now, can't wait to see your final product
Jake Jones nice ... Do it! Thx for watching
Dude love your videos. I just got into customizing but your video tips have helped me out a lot. Thanks btw haven't found a figure you have done yet that has not been amazingly well done.
I clicked like just for the intro hahaha
But yeah thanks for the video, very good.
You should try aircraft paint removal. It literally takes the paint off within like... 2 seconds. But use it in a well vented area
Nice! Even though I'm aware of how to do this I still enjoy watching your tutorial vids. Lol Keep up the good work!
You ever try to put the classic Black Panther's headsculp on the Spider-Man Noir's body ?
thanks for the help I want to make my own kaine scarlet spider custom thanks for the inspiration keep up the good work
You can dip in a bowl of purple power it will remove all the paint. leave in for a few hours than wipes away once you pull out much better than acetone .
Edward Rodriguez “purple power” cool
Dang...yer kids call8ng you out fer being one of us dorks!😯
Hey, I just did this to remove the paint from the belt buckle on my Beast figure because it was painted incorrectly, but now I'm worried if the nail polish remover might somehow eat the plastic.
Great video! I’ve never customized before but this might be a good start!
As a person that's not a customizer why would you use an exclusive figure and not the regular one for customization?
Damnnn nice intro, loved the video too
Thanks! Will use on my jawa sandcrawler,hasbro employed a dog to crap on it! Looks like yellow caca sprayed everywhere,this will definantly work cleaning this mess,cheers!
Great tutorial, man!
Kids, gotta break our hearts.
We are a Batman Family, and he's bringing in that Spider-man junk.
I HAVE NO SON!!!!
That intro was cute

Make a video and show me how better alcohol is when removing paint. I’ll def watch
@@Poundz978 Will do. Anyhow, dont forget to add safety directions. Kids are likely to watch your videos and accidents can be prevented.
Belze very true .. and i do appreciate your comment... and i also agree to ALWAYS keep the cap on the acetone ... maybe I’ll make a more in depth review
Hahaha that intro was funny 😂😂 but great video very helpful👍
Thanks for teaching, I’m gonna customize my spiderman I got loose
The music is fresh!!!
Thanks for the vid poundz. I’ll give acetone another shot👍🏽
Nice work! Love the song! Cute kid.
Thanks for sharing.
Dope! Well explained and great job on the removal
Awesome tips dude!!Thanks ,great vid!!!
You should make a video of the custom like you did with your symbiote black panther
Good video and hope your custom turns out well! don’t really get why everyone wants to remove the pink paint from this guy, that stuff glows under black light which looks amazing plus we see that glowing costume a lot in the movie. But to each his own!
Superman definitely
that rap was low-key FIRE!!!!!

thank you for this! does this also apply to let's say extra paint smudges on the nose, face part?

What's the best thing to use to make figures shine? I think I've heard glass cleaner works but idk
What if I don't remove the original paint? I made a custom on the Scarlet Spider body without removing the spider emblem and nothing changed.
You don’t have to remove the old paint
The reason I did is cause I wanted to use the all black body without having to sand joints on a different color figure
This video was only to show people who want to know “how to remove factory paint”
@@Poundz978 Thank you!
I don't have nail polisher what else is like the nail polisher ?
Thanks so much dude 🎉
Cool video keep it up
Does this cause the original black to fade? I noticed the different shades of black at the end
What can I use for a smaller job like face detail? The Kewtip's head is too big and I dont wanna remove other paint jobs on my figure's face!
You can try small pointed cotton swabs
@@Poundz978 Ah, the precision tips! Thanks!
Love the intro before intro
Do you wash your figure after? I'm thinking off putting it under the tap etc don't wanna risk anything
I use spray acrylic clear coat sprayed into a plastic cup and brushes or qtips. Safest way I've found to do it. The cheap shit in the blue cans where they sell apple barrel paint and other paints that shouldn't be used on customs is the best stuff to use. You won't take off plastic, just paint.

Thanks for this vid.. would this method work well on Storm-Colectibles figures?? I'm planning on getting a MK3 Scorpion and paint him blue, cause I can't find a MK3 masked Sub-Zero that's not a ridiculous price
Do they shine? im still thinking wether i should use 99% isopropyl or acetone for PVC figures.
What if i were to get a certan piece like the hand and put it under the paint removing thing?
Does this work on marvel legends spiderman homecoming figure
Thanks I am going to make a custom clone trooper
Would this work for a figma genii more important would it work on the joints
Fire video !!
Thanks for the video I'm trying to make a custom Inferno. Will this work on a head that has a paint on beard or mustache?
Yes it will
Does this take off the gloss finish of the figure? If so what’s the best way to seal the finished product?
You have a video showing how take apart certain figures, how to not break them?
Thank you Soo much poundz🙏🙏
do you like the new toy fair figures and which one would you make a custom of
Thanks men i try to spray paint my spider man home made suit and i dont like it but its just a little and tommorow am gonna remove it
I have not seen the movie yet so it may look much better on the screen but this pink paint looks terrible in my opinion. You have completely redeemed this figure by removing the pink paint.
Paul Tambolleo this fig is based off the comics, not the movie
I always ask my kid which of my action figures or sneakers she likes better,she gives me the same treatment.lol
Thanxs so much man
Do you need to remove the old paint if it isn't fine deco lines, but just a simple leotard paint on the torso?
Wouldnt 91% alcohol do the same but not melt the plastic?
More vids more Tutorials. Keep it up bro.
Where can I find angent venom and which one is it
Song was Cray brother 👍🏼
Bugger! Ive had 4 figs soaking in a acetone bath for the last 2 hours to try and remove the chest decals looool
How much are you charging to make an Agent Venom
Another great tip-appreciate you my man
