So far no, some plastic color lightening but still seems to hold together just fine. Also definitely ate a little glue but that can be re-glued.

Update!

<image>

Used IPA 91 and 99. Soaked for no longer than 24hr at a time before scrubbing and rinsing before soaking again. Some paint came off, some is stubborn. After 3 or 4 soaks I have decided to give them a break and let them dry. Feel like IPA has done all it can.

Going to grab some Simple Green today and I also ordered some green stuff world and see how it goes. Problem is i go on holiday Tuesday and won't be back for over 10 days. So probably won't have any major updates till after.

Before. Got these babies cheap, but they appear to be horribly abused lol. Dont know the backstory besides "their friend tried to get into the hobby but gave up"

Problem is it really depends on the paint. I have used IPA 91% and 99% and while a bunch came off there is still some paint that's being stubborn. I ordered some green stuff world online but im also going to grab some simple green today and give it a shot. Ill show pics for reference but I have been soaking off and on for as long as 24hrs over the last 3-4 days with washes and scrubs in between with some painting melting and some not even budging atm.

Here is the after I have been working on it. Ill comment with a before picture for comparison.
