Q/A & Help Group 7 years, 4 months ago So I was thinking about painting a kit with gold plating, like the Akatsuki or Delta Gundams, but I wasn’t sure how to get rid of or strip off the gold plating…. I’ve heard of using bleach to strip paint, but I can’t seem to find anything saying yes or no if that method works for this. Can someone answer my question whether or not Bleach would strip off the gold plating and if not then what method might I try using instead? Please and Thank You

U can try n use isoproply alcohol maybe itll work ive practically used this stuff on everything when i mess up or want to get rid of paints
Thank you for the tip
Banshee has the right idea, you can also use Gundam Marker Remover pens if you have any lying around as they’re alcohol based.
I used bleach in the recent past to strip chrome plated parts on kits, like on the MG Destiny Extreme Blast Mode. As the “gold” is the same, except for a clear yellow on top of it, the same method will work for you.
Just let the parts soak for at least 24 hours and use an old toothbrush to get the last bits out of the nooks and crannies. Be careful not getting the stuff on your clothes! Old fluid can be washed down the drain without any environmental hazards. It’ll even unclog your drain pipes 😉
Good luck and happy building
Thank You, I appreciate it. I had seen videos of people stipping Chrome, but I wasn’t sure if Gold Plating was the same or not lol You explained that very well, thank you again.
You’re welcome 😉
