Mild solvent for oil paint washes?

Provideing the coat you are applying the wash to isn't enamel, you won't damage it. I use normal White Spirits to thinn my oil paint have have only had a problem when i didn't cover the enamel base correctly.

Mona Lisa is very gentle...used it over enamel without damaging it. It also goes great with Bloody Mary mix...

Doogs, whats is this Mona Lisa. I haven't heard of it, not in this context.

Mona Lisa Odorless Thinner...pretty widely available here in the US - I've seen it at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, the local art supply store, etc. I believe it's actually a brand of odorless turpenoid, but it's very not-harsh and I've found it ideal when working with oils.

Thanks, i will have to see if i can find it over here. Might help avoid any more accidents.

I use Tamiya acrylic paints as base coats and will use a Vallejo acrylic glossy top coat as a base for decaling and pin washes.  I've read that an acrylic paint, once fully dried, will survive an oil paint thinner.  This is true, isn't it? About 20 years ago I was into oil painting (with turpentine) and I still remember the viscious, toxic odor of turp.
