Question re: DFDC Belle/Beast Display Sample
Sooooo jealous, I've been wanting that set for ages but it's a bit out of my price range! It's definitely a great deal and to be honest, so long as it's it mint the COA is no ig deal, especially for the price!
As for the repainting, you can remove factory paint with pure acetone (aka the active chemical in nail polish remover). I'd recommend being VERY cautious if you on'y want to take the eyebrow off, use Q-tips. If it's not too too bad you could just take a watercolor pencil or a thin brush with acrylic and try to fix it by painting over. For a bit that small you probably don't need to set it, but if you wanna do the whole face I'd get a matte varnish and a glossy one for the pupils.
If you've never done a repaint, I'd recommend going to a second hand shop and picking up a doll or two for practice even if you just fill in the missing piece. That way you can also test the consistency of the paint and how it'll look dried. It would be hard to color match exactly, so I personally would redo the whole eyebrow, but I have some experience with repainting. Color matching is going to be trial and error for you if you just want to fill in the slit. I'd say see how the practice doll goes for you and then decide on what you feel comfortable doing. Also, you can search face ups on Youtube and Google for a ton of great tips if you like researching.
If you use acetone be sure to wipe away well afterwards and don't use acetone with additives (such as nail strengtheners). Pure acetone is pretty easy to find. Acrylic paint is commonly used because oil paints do not do well with vinyl/plastics over time and will likely ruin the doll in the long term, so be sure to only use water base paints/pencils.
