My Black H3 Skull Project - Check It Out

[🪦 rudymunis ●]

This thread started as a paint stripping question- but here\'s what I did with the mask...

I always loved the fresh black vinyl skulls in the factory scene in Halloween III, and after buying a crappy re-painted skull from my friend, I decided to make a black one out of it.. (not the hardest paint job in the world, but I wanted it to look correct)








Earlier this morning I was asking what to use to do this with, then I remembered I had some stripper for removing paint for plastic models. I am in the process of restoring old Aurora monster models, and the stuff worked great on them so I tried it on my mask.. since vinyl is a type of plastic made from ethylene, I figured what the heck... I started with a small area on the back of this already painted Don Post skull (didn\'t the old thick glow paint someone put on it)

You soak the piece in the solution for about ten minutes, then use a medium bristle tooth brush to get it off.. it\'s always worked good and fast on models, and it did the same thing for the mask.. the vinyl was unharmed, and perfectly normal once I dried it off. I want to give it a good once over to remove whatever is left, but you can see in the pics that this stuff worked great.











Here\'s the first coats of flat black-
