Removing Weathering on Bowen Doom

[Gadzooks!]

I picked up the Bowen Classic Dr. Doom statue (the new one) the other day and the paint job on it is really, really sharp. The only issue I have is the black "weathering" around some of the bolts on the facemask is a little heavy on the one side of the face.



(Crappy picture, as you can hardly see what I mean, but the area over Doom's left eye)

It's not a big issue, but I was wondering if there was an easy way I can wipe the weathering off, like with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip? Will this affect the shine of the silver paint? Does anyone have any experience with this on a Bowen statue?

Thanks in advance…

nope you wont be able too. Most statues are paint stuck together, so trying to remove the black/weathering you will wind up removing the metallic too. Specially if the statue has some kind of a flat clear coat on it, will just get messy.

only option is to lightly mist some of the silver paint over those areas to tone them down.
