Use a fine sandpaper around 150~220 grit. Obviously You'll need to take the eyelashes off and remove the eyes or roll them around to the back. Wet the sandpaper to keep it from getting gummed up.

The eyebrows could likely be scraped off with your finger nails, The paint's not very strong anyway.

Hey there Stacy girl,


May I suggest before you do anything, you talk to Mechadoll to find out what can be done? I wouldn't want you ruining your doll when you get her. I think they can probably help out with these issues. Best of luck, sweetie.

I agree with Mel. These things could still be fixed unless she is already on her way but they are still easy to fix with some care. The eyebrows will be easy to remove but the eyeliner will be more difficult....it's just silicone paint.
I hate it when customers don't get what they order on such a large dollar item.

Stacy,

Try MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) or Toluene, available at any paint store or hardware. Test it on an inconspicuous spot overnight, as these solvent tend to sink in.

Apply with a OOO or OOOO brush and remove after a minute with a Q-Tip.

Hopefully, Nico hasn't left the factory, and she can be fixed there.

And yes! Remove the eyes! I know this stuff will tear up that type of plastic!

I know of no solvent that will dissolve cured silicone. The paint is just silicone with high levels of tint.

M.E.K. is some nasty shit, So's Toulene. I wouldn't recommend using this stuff for anything, The fumes are brutal. Even as a thinner Triclorethane is much better and it doesn't make you barf.

For the life of Me I can't understand how the huffers manage to sniff this stuff, Makes My stomach turn just getting a wiff of it. :roll:

I'm really suprised that the hydrocarbons are banned for sale to the general public, But these Ketones are no problem... :roll:

Sith Lord,

Yes MEK is some nasty shit. That makes it the Gold Standard for testing the cure of paint and plastics. I should have added "Use with excessive ventilation". Your idea of fine grade sandpaper is the best route. Slower, and more labor intensive, but easier to control and safer. I only recommended these two solvents because solvents were requested.

I don't know much about silicone dolls, but for my resin dolls I use the following treatments: Mr. Super Clean eraser will clean minor smudges and surface stains, Winsor and Newton brush cleaner will remove tougher spots, and acetone gets rid of the vast majority of blemishes.. but is not always gentle. In a worst case scenario, you would use sandpaper. Getting the sandpaper wet would be equivalent to a finer grade sandpaper.

My sillicone doll will be <a href="http://tinyurl.com/b5uta">Autumn</a>. At current rate of savings I'll have her in a few years..
