Swivel:
Hi all. I'm keen to try and keep one of my survivor masters original paint/decals then do this up with all green bits. I bought this from a chap on here last year, admittedly he didn't quite explain the sheer number of chips on it or the gloss paint that has gone yellow, but its all cool, I was happy to get one in original survivor condition :) My aim is to remove the yellowing paint somehow, then spend time to touch up each and every chip with enamel paint and flat back and tidy up. So what would you recommend to take off this yellowing paint but not affect the original paint. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

Will white spirit not take it off without touching original paint Matt?

I do agree with that fella, but Dom and Jay have done some cracking resto's preserving the original paint recently and they really do look amazing. If Dom reads this hopefully he can attach the photos of Jay's work, truly incredible  :4_17_5:
