THF-03 Dynastron + Nail Polish = Disaster.

[MyNameLeChegg]

So, I ordered the THF-03 Dynastron (which is pretty much MP-36 Megatron by Takara), and the joints in the arms were a bit loose.

 

So, I bought some nail polish to tighten those suckers up. 

 

What I didn't know, was that Nail Polish removed paint from figures.

 

Even though I was using clear nail polish, the figure's paint that wasn't removed was stained. 

This is a photo of the damage done. On the bright side, I did tighten the joints. 

 

Could someone help me find out what type of paint was used, and what shade of silver?

I think you'd have to reach out to the manufacturer for that info. If they can't help, I'm not sure what else you can do other than some careful experimentation.

You might also check a Transformers-specific forum. I am not at all familiar with the community / hobby, but a quick Google brought me to the TF toy forums at Seibertron, which seem to be active and have a fair number of repair/restore threads.

 

Again, this is a recommendation based entirely on the Google-net, I cannot vouch for the environment of Seibertron's community. But it might be worth a shot.

Nail Polish is all about the acetone. Yipes.
