Peach or pink and can you repaint??

honeyloves · Guru

If your wanting to re-paint then you can strip her old paint off with acetone or paint thinner :) but don't throw her away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please !

I agree.... don't throw the kit away! That's whats nice about Genesis, you can get do-overs!
Yes, strip her back and start again, but do it gently. Then wash the kit in hot soapy water to remove the residue. Try not to rub while removing the paints. Then just start again.
I personally do not care for the pink kits. But I have done them. I just do a color-correction before I start really painting them. Check the search feature for color-correcting threads.

I personally prefer the peachy kits :)
Other's like the pink because they do more newly born babies. It's really personal preference.

I had to get a pink to get muffin , because they were out of peach ! But I would have gotten the peach I will be searching for color correction stuff !

DO-OVER!!! Never throw the baby away! aww

I also like to buy peach. It's just better to start off with and color correction is easier. I've done pink before and well, the paints didn't come out the way I hoped.

The color correction threads here are great.

Hummm I'll let someone who's more experienced with that answer that one smile

I've used the thinner very carefully with a Q-tip but you really have to be careful with it. I've heard others say they use acetone. So idk I'll let someone else telly you more about that one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. hmm

acetone will take it off even if its been baked, some ppl use windsor and newton bruch cleaner /remover. someppl say the acetone can make your kit a little orangey.............sage aww

The Winsor & Newton is good if you have it. Also, Secrist used to sell a vinyl cleaner that would remove ink and paint. Other than that I just use acetone. With some kits it will turn an orangy color but you can always do a color correction on your base coat. Be sure not to rub hard as this will make the vinyl shiny and paint may not stick. I believe there is a thread in forum on how to or what not to do when stripping. NEVER use Goof-Off!
