forthlin Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I painted a model with Rustoleum 2xx paint. I then used Bare metal foil. Pulling it off has left a lot of adhesive on the paint & I'm not sure what to use on this paint without ruining it to get it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandboarder Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I just use painters tape. The adhesive on the tape will stick to the residue and slowly remove it by reapplying the tape and removing until all the residue is gone. I used the same technique when removing the price stickers from CD covers and gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Rubbing alcohol will remove BMF residue quite handily, but can also remove some types of paint. Test first. Next time I have the problem, I'm gonna try Sandboarder's tape trick first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 A soft cloth dampened with WD-40 works well on lacquers. Test on an area that doesn't show beforehand on the Rustoleum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forthlin Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 I don't have any painters tape or WD-40 but I do have rubbing alcohol & it worked. Thanks for the help.😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
