1982 My Little Pony G1 Peachy Vintage Toy Restoration - MLP Hasbro Toy Repair - Acrylic Camouflage

This Peachy seems to have been a custom pony project abandoned half-way through. She was given to me by Lauren from My Little Forest Ponies and I knew, since the moment I saw her, that I wanted to try and see what was underneath the camouflage. The pony was painted with acrylics, which are luckily water-based. This means the paint could be removed using either acetone or, as I discovered rather late into the process, warm water! I then proceeded to change her hair and style it a-la-1980s. Peachy is not a rare pony, but she definitely deserved a second chance. All materials used are reversible, so who knows what she might become in the future :)

Important note about acetone: DO NOT use on eyes or symbols (it will erase them). WASH frequently between applications using water and soap, or the acetone will damage the vinyl.
