dried acrylic paint...

i seem to have totally stuffed up my rear windows.... i was wondering how do i remove totally dried acrylic paint.? do i need acrylic thinner? or can i remove it by washing with warm/hot soapy water?.

i use acrylic thiner on a cocktail stick, soak the end of a cocktail stick for thirty seconds in tamiya acrylic thinner X20a then use it to push and scrape away the paint. its extremely neat. i use it to clean up areas where paint runs under the mask

Or u can soak the parts with window cleaner, leave it for half a day and the dried paint will be gone.

Recently had this same problem.

A lot of good advice, but I found brake fluid (NOT CLEANER!) to work the best.

If it is Tamiya Acrylic soak it in Ammonia(main ingredient in window cleaner). It will come off in 5-10 minutes with absolutely no harm to the clear plastic.

kewl thanks. another question.... how do i do customised liscenced plates?.... put the numbers onto decal, then soak whole ting in water? or apply main decal, then apply numbers aftewards?

anybody know?

yes? no?
