Well, in this thread it is written that pure isopropyl alcohol, being able to remove even Tamiya TS paints, is better than Castrol Super Clean, a product no more available to buy.

However, I can tell you that, besides Tamiya TS paints, any universal degreaser suits the job. I write from Italy, and here I use a cheap imitation of a product called sgrassatore universale Chanteclair. I can assure you that it works great, not making the plastic brittle (like brake fluid sometimes does), and not making less transparent the transparent parts (like brake fluid sometimes does). It smells good too, having the smell of castile soap. Another very good product I can recommend is Arexons Fulcron.

How do you think the lacquer works Steve? What specifically do you thin it with?

I hope this isn't considered hijacking a thread, as I think the questions will get the problems in the initial question rectified.

Thanks in advance.

The lacquer works well for a 1K clear. I thin it with basecoat thinner and it seems to do the job nicely. It dries very quickly and polishes well, however I prefer the 2K clear when I want a really top class finish..

I've had this problem a couple of times with Tamiya. In my case in seemed to occur with blues as it has on your model. It seemed to involve the paint being pulled back along door lines, trunk lines etc. I pretty much solved the problem by decanting TS-13 and shooting it through the airbrush rather then the spray can which allowed me to reduce the pressure and amount of paint going on each time.
