After my first failed attempt at applying some Cadian camo to a Space Marine, I figured I'd have a go at trying to strip all the paint off my test subject.
I followed this guide which is based on soaking the figures in Dettol.
Impresive results based on soaking for around 16 hours and a quick scrub with a toothbrush are below. There was a lot of paint on this figure too.
More scrubbing (and judicious application of a cocktail stick) would easily remove what little residue remains I think. As it is, this model should be good for respraying now.
Please share any other tried and tested techniques!
