removing paint

I spilt rubbing alcohol on one of mine and it did a heck of a number on it , you might try it?

I'm not sure if it will on Acrylics but for enamel paint removal, I use Castrol Super Clean. It doesn't mess with the bond of the glue either (I use Testors and Tamiya cement) I put the part in a plastic Rubbermaid type container with a lid. Let it soak for awhile, depending on how thick the paint coats are. You will see the paint start to lift off the part or just disolve.

If you use it, make sure and wear some type of rubber gloves. I keep a box of those surgical ones handy. When the paint lifts off, I then clean the part with soap and water, to get rid of the CSC. If some stubborn spots remain, I use a very soft bristle brush (an old tooth brush to be exact)

Hope this is helpful.

Yes.... I generally find that all that is required to remove acrylic paint is to mask it! Seriously, I hate acrylic paint, but if faced with having to take it off, the best way for most of them is a wash down in rubbing alcohol. Windex also does an excellent job. Be careful of fine details, though, the sometimes agressive scrubbing to get paint out of cracks and crevices sometimes breaks small details.

DO NOT use a brass (or stiffer) brush. A toothbrush, nail brush, or stiffer paint brush works well.

Try lacquer thinner, rub it on with a Q-tip and use water to rinse. try it on a scrap piece first.

polly s makes an acrylic paint remover. i get mine at my local hobby shop or try squadron. paint it on, wait then rinse if off, use a toothbrush for hard spots

i have used it on most paints from tamiya to testors. good luck

Easyoff oven cleaner regular not the heat genarated type let it soak scrub with scothbrite green cleaning pad.when done wash with soap and water.

for metal parts, braso works with steelwool! just be careful with the steelwool on the small stuff! the braso alsao will leave a white residue if not completely wiped off of the surface.
