HI guys! I'm currently working on my Trump KV-II. She's almost done and ready for wash. I tried using acrylics to do the wash, but then it goofed up! Ho do I remove it? I tried wiping and it only removed some, also tried washing it into running water, but it didn't help much.I don't want to sand it cause I had a hard time painting the base coat with enamel paints.

Hi,
I've tried a couple of methods discussed in other topics. I must admit, oven cleaner is the quickest and easiest. I haven't tried it with CA glued parts though.
Spray on model and leave for a few minutes. I usually left mine for about 10-15.
Wash off with tap water.
I also found a wash with a soft brush and warm soapy did wonders.
Just be sure to spray outside (especially if you're married).
Cheers
Shane

Hi Ralph!
You've really peaked my interest here mate...what brand of paint have you tried to use for the acrylic wash?? Reason I'm asking is, I've been using acrylic washes for a few years now and never had a problem with removal...did you clear gloss coat the subject first with FUTURE floor wax? If not, that may be the problem...some of the wash pigment may have been absorbed into the base coat paint pores, and now oven cleaner may be your only answer, as stated before...I've always used FUTURE before washing with acrylics and have never had a problem with removal at all...
