stripping acrylic paint?

I do customs but they are always "Work in Progress".
Which means, Until I think of something better or do a better job.
Acrylic paint can some times pile up or I decide I want to use a part for a different figure.
Is there any way to strip the acrylic paint off a figure without ruining it?
Thanks for the help.

Simple Green

I've used it many times to strip paint off of wargaming miniatures, both metal and plastic. Never had any problems with it.

I've used the same stuff, much better than being eaten alive by the ultra toxic stuff. Plus simple green has a less harsh odor that doesn't require a breathing mask while you work with it.

i use simple green when i power wash houses an shit. you dont wanna use anything that has acetone in it, besides burning your skin , it most likely will eat your lil joe up.. i was gonna recommend hot ass water an a rag never thought of simple green but i also never had to strip paint off a joe before.

Definitely Simple Green, Use it often when needing to strip plastic miniatures. should work great for cleaning Joes

Dude... you power-wash shit? Hell, I thought I was the only one!

If it's Tamiya or other related paint, you can use rubbing alcohol as well.

Ditto. I use 91%, but I think the regular 70% will work too.

i'm a custom house painter! i do commercial work as well like furniture stores an what not! but i wash the houses before i paint em, an sometimes just wash vinyl siding, but not to much money in just power washing, but in order to paint a outside house we have to clean it first, if it's wood, or abestos, or any surface that can be painted!

Uhh, no. See, the emphasis was on shit. Power-washing excrement is hilarious! Okay, joke's over.
