Which is most unusual....!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Does anyone ever tried the Tamiya paint remover? Ist's quite high priced as usual for Tamiya. But does it works only with Tamiya paint or will it also be useful for other brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie fixit Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 morning all, have not tried tamiya paint remover but i use revell colour mix thinners,(the one with the dark blue lable not the light blue) i brush it on then wipe off,do small areas at a time,i have also found that polyclense brush cleaner also works and can be washed with water,i keep a small bottle of cleaner for cleaning humbrol paint off my brushes and the "dirty" cleaner is a bit milder so takes a bit longer.as i say this works for me if you try it do so carefully hope this makes sense Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Keith. After experimenting with the Dettol quite a bit, I found the easiest and best way for me is to take off the stripped paint with a toothbrush and old rag, just wipe it all off and use a tooth pic to get into all the shutlines etc. Once the entire body is clean of paint residue, then clean it off with some soapy water and let it dry off in the sun. If you use water to try and get the paint off the body, it turns into a sticky gloop that is twice as hard to get off and stains the plastic.
