(1) What is the best domestically available product for stripping paint from an Energon era transformer without damaging the plastic?
(2) Is there any way to preserve underlying layers of paint? (Doubtful of this, but perhaps wiping away the higher layers of paint with whatever concoction is answered in (1) would do it?)
(3) What are the pros and cons of enamel and acrylic paints?
(4) I'm leaning towards enamels thanks to F_R's works, and I take it the best way to paint a figure is:
[1] Disassemble figure
[2] Clean figure (with what?)
[3] Prime parts to be painted and paint them in layers
[4] Allow to dry between layers
[5] Clear coat after all layers are finished and small details are applied
This should make the paint pretty tough right? Means it'll be able to take moderate transforming (as in, once a week perhaps).
***As a bonus question, I'm interested in knowing more about designing and producing parts in 3d, much like here. Is there a particular company/website etc that will take appropriately designed cadcam files and produce prototypes? Is it domestic equipment the regular joe can buy? Is there a particular program that's brilliant for producing 3d tf part renders?
