I painted my first body and it didnt exactly turn out how I wanted... Is it possible to remove the paint?

THANKS!

Nope. some guys have tried to use various things as solvents, but all of them attack lexan and make it brittle or fog it up, and either way would ruin your next attempt.
Chaulk it up to experience.

squirrell has a video on youtube that halps out alot.

u just soack it in break fluid and the paint wipes right off, the lexan isnt damaged, and it doesnt leave any white residue like other methods

If you used acrylic paint and did not seal it you can use 92 % Isopropoly Alcohol.
It is best to use a tub that will allow the body to fit inside of it completely.
Set the body in the tub and poor in the alcohol. so it covers as much of the paint as possible.

You dont have to fill the entire tube up with alcohol but it reduces the amount of time needed to clean the old paint off.
If you just fill the tub up a couple of inches you can rotate the body every twenty or thirty minutes to release the paint from another side of the body.

After soaking the body for 20-30 minutes just use a paper towel to wipe the old paint off.

To repaint the body simply wash it with soap and water like normal and give it a quick once over to make sure no paint has been left. If you find any left over paint a little alcohol on a paper towel will quickly remove it.

I've used automotive break fluid and it took the paint right off my body but it still left a slight color haze on the body so it wasn't perfectly clear anymore.
