I have a dried White Tamiya Acrylic. Can this paint be revived by adding water?

i would try a little tamiya thinners, more likely to work than water i think but depends on how dry it is

Hi shonen red

I think if it's dried solid, I'd bin it!!

You could try Tamiya thinners as Martin suggests (I think isopropyl alchohol is the same stuff...) or maybe cellulose thinners - but I think the result would be gritty and unsafe to use on a model you value. Definitely test the paint on some scrap plastic!!

Compared with the cost of a new pot of paint, it's just not worth messing up a kit...

All the best

It is dried for about 4-5 years since I used it on my Gundam kit. I wonder if water can still revive it.

I think that even if you are able to revive the paint it may never go back to the consistency it once was. Give it a try and see what happens.

If it's rock hard I think there's no way uot than buy a new jar. If it isn't I wont use any water nor isopropyl alchhol, I'd go for the Tamiya's XA-20 thinner. Add a bit of it at the time and stir it throughly then repeat the treatment until you get the right consistency. Anyway I'm with Proky, to prevent unpredictable results just test it on a scap piece of plastic...

I have used Tamiya paints for years and if there's one thing that I have learned in that time it is.....NEVER TRY TO REVIVE OLD PAINT!!!
If it's dry...throw it away
If it's too thick....throw it away
If it's lumpy...throw it away
Trying to revive it will just cause you a great deal of time and a great big mess to clean up after.
