Zosh Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 How do you remove acrylic paint? Humbrol gloss white. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mullen Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Zosh Ive havent experience Humbrol Acrylics, but using Tamiya Acrylics I have used Windolene, Modelstrip with some sucess. Others have metioned using Rubbing Alcohol. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Spray it with an ammonia based window cleaner and it will run right off. Rubbing alcohol also works, but not as quickly, or as well, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zosh Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Ok, i've used a window glass cleaner, not windex...but im positive it contains ammonia...(Ahh...the memories of chem praticals...) But the paint does not run off. Am i applying it wrongly? I dont have an airbrush so i just coated the portion of the paint i want to remove but nothing seems to be happening. What now? :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Try some neat ammonia, carefully applied with a cotton bud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jon Knapman Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Use the foaming type oven cleaner. Leave the model in a bag for ten minutes then just rinse under a tap (make sure you wear some rubber gloves). The result is amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zosh Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Its water based, i still cant figure out how to remove it... :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
