Re: Painting photo etched parts! HOW TO????

2. Paint the entire part again in Tamiya acrylic Lemon Yellow and let dry
3. Remove the Tamiya acrylic paint with a q-tip dipped (but not totally saturated!) in acrylic thinner, Windex or IPA (IsoPropyl Alcohol). Go slowly and you will end up removing the yellow from the horse only.

If you go too far, simply reapply the yellow and repeat step 3.
