A few months ago, I wanted to repaint some 28mm historicals. The advice I was given, to remove acrylic, was this:



And, yes, it Works. It Works brilliantly. It's produced by Scale75 (who also do some excellent paint sets). Their website can be seen:

I'm using this:

It's not easy to find here, but works like a charm. It cleans everything: primer, acrylics, enamels... you name it.

For acrylics I use Windex, only takes a short time and very cheap considering.

99% rubbing alcohol for me...comes off immediately. Cosmetic dept at your local pharmacy. You can also thin Tamiya acrylics with it & spray away.Also good for cleaning out your airbrush. So is windex but ..windex tends to eat the metal.

Same here... 96% IPA / rubbing alcohol thinned 50/50 with tap water. Also used to thin Revell, Vallejo and Mig acrylics.

But it's always nice to see alternatives so... thanks for sharing!

Alcohol or Windex dissolve Tamiya acrylics in seconds, but if you're using real acrylics for miniatures like Citadel, or Ral Partha paints, scrubbing with a brush will be necessary.

Pure IPA for Vallejo, works great. I use brush with that.
