This paint seams to be impervious to anything I throw out of it. Rubbing alcohol, tamiya thinner, windex, eaven easy off didn't touch the stuff. Is there anything that can strip this paint off reliably? It doesn't help that it forms a rubbery shell either.

Does anyone know what can strip this stuff?

I reckon Mr. Model Color Thinner's would- Purisol from Xtracrylix also definetly works.

I am currently cleaning Vallejo Model Air with product normally used to clean oven. I will tell you the outcome tomorrow.

I feel silly for not mentioning it before but Vallejo airbrush cleaner might work!

I have experience removing it with Laquer thinner (Mr colour thinner), so any laquer thinner should work. Or airbrush cleaner from Vallejo could work.
