If u ever use TS-* (I forgot, but it is italien Red), never ever rub tamiya acrylic thinner on a italien red painted surface, as that thinner actually eat away the paint AND the shine!!

So please becareful everyone to not rub too hard if u're going to correct the window trims using that thinner!

Luckily it didn't harm my 360 modena (phew)

I'll post some pic of it as soon as I get a camera.

If you are using Tamiya Acrylics for trim painting try using ammonia or window cleaner to clean off unwanted paint. Ammonia does not harm any paint except Tamiya Acrylics.

I disagree, if you rub a product like Windex, containing ammonia, on TS paints with a white cloth, you can certainly see the color coming off. It isn't severe our damaging, but still something to be cautious about.:)

One more thing to add:
If u r using acrylic paints for window trims just like I do
I perfer to do it BEFORE u polish

that way you can always use some sand paper and compound to bring the paint quality again.
