Lego paint/print removal

[chris_austin]

I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask this question!

Does anyone know of an easy way to remove the paint from a piece of lego whilst keeping the brick in good condition, i.e. no harsh scrubbing?

Specifically, i'm talking about the UFO grey saucer sections. I've looked on bricklink and can't find any plain grey ones.

Thanks

Maybe this can help you?

Thanks. I did a few searches but didn't find this. Had a quick look and it should help.

brasso works good

I've never tried it, but as Looking For A Name mentioned, used brasso. Dip some q-tips in the brasso and apply it to the part, or perhaps cotton balls. Again, I've never done this, just seems the most logical way to go about trying it.

Fun On!

I use a genuine plastic polish, after a nice bit of time and an old rag, you can get about any print off.

I rubbed off the yellow print on the purple armour, so now I have an all purple halo-looking guy. I love purple! *wub*

*ehem* well yes, anyway, any polish works really. I've heard chrome polish works aswell.
