Ditto on the "Lightly with the Windex".

I’ve used Windex in the past with great results.  Just rub LIGHTLY!

Mineral spirits will have no effect on Vallejo. Being that you used the same type of clear on the model as the paint that splattered you may damage the finished paint trying to get it off. If there is an area that is not highly noticeable use that area as a test. Use Vallejo thinner or you may try Windex it works with Tamiya paint

How to Clean Off Cured Paint
Posted by Ryravux on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 10:10 PM

Hi

I'm very new to the hobby of scale modelling. I'm pretty much learning from trial and error.

While airbrushing a kit, using Vallejo's acrylic Dark Yellow Surface Primer, some of the paint spluttered onto another finished model.

The model had been finished using Vallejo Premium Satin Varnish. I've only noticed it until now, the paint had around 3 days to cure.

Is there a way to safely remove this paint without having to repaint the model?

There's not much, just little drops here and there.

I've been told to use a cotton swab and some mineral spirits and just work at it until it removes...but just to be sure.

 

Thanks!
