discussion Paint removal .

[Alan 45]

I started a 1/72 harrier on Friday and really messed up the paint job on so I was wondering what household cleaners might fetch it off but not damage the kit I have heard that oven cleaner works but the only stuff I have might melt the plastic

Any help is very much appreciated

what paint have you used?

mr muscle oven cleaner is great for removing acrylics................brake fluid is good for rattle cans

just be aware of all the H&S considerations with whatever you use

Cheers folks I am using acrylics and at the moment it is in this doctor power stuff that says removes anything I suppose I will find out by morning if it has worked if not I'll try your suggestions lads thanks

For acrylics, I use this but too be honest I don't need to use it too often lately

Alan what sort of acrylics as they are some very different to each other.

If it is Vallejo then a Friday effort will be removed by Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner with out any effect what so ever except for messy fingers.
