yes, I use isopropyl alcohol when I airbrush the ts's to clean it, so... maybe could work to strip the paint on a body, but..... isopropyl alcohol is expensive, at least here, about 8USD 750ml bottle, and it cannot be reused, there must be a better way.

to remove tamiya acrilic just use metholated spirits
use a spray bottle and just squirt it on and watch the paint run off
best oven cleaner is (non caustic) easy off
mosy oven cleaners have caustic soda in them ,Its alkaline not acid and is very nasty shit so to the person using it Use somethig else

were are the porno tunes

Re: Good tips for stripping acrylic tamiya

I just had an incident (well, a lot of stuff went wrong) with my Lancia Super Delta Acropolis Rally winner, and I decided to strip the paint off.

I just bought 1 litre of brake fluid (about 5 euros), and the body is dipped in the fluid inside a closed tupperware, as we speak. I've always heard this was an easy way to strip off models, and looks like it's working...

And the fluid can be used again
