Over done acrylic
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, December 27, 2006 9:00 AM

Greetings guys!

My problem:

I went to heavy with acrylic olive drab on my first streak finish on a Dr.I . How can I take a brush and thin back some of the streak?

Regardless of the brand, I think you're looking at a repaint, especially if it's acrylic over acrylic. If it's over an enamel base, you might be able to salvage the base color by using alcohol swabs to gently remove the acrylic. No guarantees that you won't just smear the base even more.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Rather than paint over, you could strip it and try again. While I rarely use MM acrylics, those I've used secumb to a mixture of one part Simple Green, one part Windex, and two parts water. (Someone here posted that formula, but I've forgotten who.)
