I get great results using Purple Power, which is basically a stronger windex type cleaner. I also use it for kit chrome parts.

For styrene and metal I swear by Dot 3 Brake fluid, then rinse in dishsoap and distilled water. Not good for resin, makes it rubbery.

I use Tamiya acrylics. One day I noticed how easily my wife's gel hand soap took it off my hands . I have a big jug that I put empty bottles in with water and soap, leave them for a while and they rinse out very easily. Hardned paint takes a little scrubbing.

I stripped a 1/48 TBM - a big plane - using ISP and a tooth brush. It was a mess, but didn't take that long, especially if a little residue is okay when painted over.

I've used Simple Green to get Model Master Acrylics off in the past to good effect. Put them in a plastic tub and sprayed the stuff on full strength and let it soak for a good half a day to a full day and then scrubbed with an old tooth brush and rinsed. Had to repeat it a few times depending on the thickness of the paint but it came off easily.

Re: Removing Acrylic Paint |

I have had good luck just soaking what ever I need stripped in Windex window cleaner. I had to redo the deck of my 1/350 Tamiya !-400 and all I did was keep the deck wet with Windex and with occasional scrubbing with an old brush, the paint was of in about 10-15 minutes. About ten years ago, I took the paint off of an 1/350 Essex class carrier by spraying it with oven cleaner and sealing it in a trash bag. I left it in the bag over night and most of the paint was off after the first try. I don't care for that method as it was unhealthy and nasty. Have heard that some have had good luck doing what I did with Windex but, instead they used Simple Green. Hope this helps you in some way.
