removing dried on Revell Aqua color


Recommended Posts

Gents, I tried to use some black Revell aqua color diluted in alcohol as a wash on my ill fated F-15 project. It didn't work as a wash, and worse still there are spots of the black that seemed to have congealed on the model. I have tried window cleaner and even a fairly strong solution of ammonia, but it is stuck fast. I'm loathe to use lacquer thinner because I don't want to strip the paint off (having had to do it once already...)

Can anyone suggest an enamel paint friendy way of getting this aqua color off?

Whatever you do, don't use lacquer thinner, as it WILL melt the plastic.
