Recently the great Gamera Baenre posted to /r/Gunpla about how he was stripping the gold coating from the new Hyaku Shiki 2.0. He didn’t post a full tutorial on the process, and since I just used the same process on a my upcoming Hyaku Shiki 2.0 build, I figured I do a quick tutorial myself for folks with questions.
The process is really easy. All you need is…
- 1 gallon jug of Purple Power (roughly $18 on Amazon)
- Plastic tub in which to soak the parts (I used a 12qt dishpan, $6 on Amazon)
- Dish washing gloves, or any other waterproof glove ($4-$10 on Amazon)
Oh, and you need the Hyaku Shiki too. Per Baenre the original plated Shiki was clear plastic below as well. Why is it clear plastic? Well guessing that milky white is just the base manufacturer color. Makes sense, why spend more on a coloured frame folks won’t see?
