I've been asked a few times and seen plenty of people asking otherwise, how do you remove an MH doll's factory paint. So here's a basic guide to getting your MH doll ready for customising (。・ω・。)

Tutorials on how to design your repaint and how to go about the process of making it over to come soon!

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions/

You're welcome! I'm sorry for my very late reply, I was away ;A; I hope it's not too late for me to give my advice on this. What kind of painting on the body did you want to do, a tattoo?

don't worry! hehehe I haven't been here lately for health issues >.<. well I'm not sure yet, I bought a frankie stain for my first try and the first thing I want to do on the body is to add pink to the fingers and knees and elbows, I want them to look like my drawings: [link]

so, I read that sand the body is a very good idea, then seal it with mrs super clear and do the same thing that you would do to the face D:

Hmm.. If all you want to do is add some blush to the body, I wouldn't say you need to go through the laborious process of sanding. I blush most of my girls bodies and just give them a base of MSC as usual before starting. Personally I'd advise to blush with powder for something like that rather than painting it ;; so hopefully you wouldn't have any need to use remover on the body.
I hope that helps even a tiny bit ;A; (your art is adorable by the way, must follow *u*)

oh like, with pastels, right? pastel powder?, I also read that the sanding gives a very smooth touch to the skin D: maybe that plus makes the hard work worth it haha cause then It will combine with the skin of the face, but I also want to add more things like tattos as you said I think I will do the sanding O:

It does help a lot hunn! hehehe :}. awww and thak you so much! hehe you're so kind!! Ü :love:

Have you used this method on any other dolls? I have a Disney fairy doll (not tinkerbell but another kind, dolls from the movies) that I'd love to repaint.

I've personally also used this technique on Barbies and a Disney Rapunzel doll. Really it just depends what your doll's face is made of. If it's soft vinyl this should work fine on it, though maybe test the remover on a small patch first just to make sure. It'll turn white and start to flake off immediately if it's the wrong material to use it on.
