                        Hi!

                        I use simple green. Put the model in the washtub etc. to catch the drips and spray it down good with simple green. Give it 10 min or so, wipe down. Repeat as needed, when all the paint is off rinse the simple green residue off and dry it, I have had no problems stripping paint with this. Don't let the fumes get too much. It could irritate eyes and lungs a little if you keep breathing the spray. Just a precaution.

                        Soak it with Windex or Purple Power.  Leave it for like 30 minutes and gently rub it.

                        I know this has probably been covered many times, but what do you use to strip paint. I sprayed Model Master Acrylic Yellow, over Dark Sea Blue Acrylic, which I know is backwards. As you can guess the yellow ran under the tape, so I want to strip the paint, and do it right this time. Any info would be appreciated.
