1. Purpose and Use:
Tamiya Paint Remover is primarily used to remove acrylic and enamel paints from plastic surfaces, such as model kits, miniatures, and other hobby-related projects. It is ideal for situations where you need to strip old paint layers or start fresh with a clean model surface.
2. Gentle on Plastic:
One of the standout features of Tamiya Paint Remover is that it is formulated to be gentle on plastic materials. It effectively removes paint without damaging or warping the plastic, which is especially important for delicate or detailed model parts. This makes it a safe option for cleaning painted plastic models.
3. Effective on Multiple Paint Types:
It works effectively on both acrylic and enamel paints, which are commonly used in scale modeling and miniature painting. This versatility makes it a great all-around paint stripper for hobbyists who use different types of paints for various projects. Not for use on ABS resin.
4. Easy to Use:
The paint remover can be applied directly to the painted surface using a brush or by soaking parts in the solution. For smaller areas, you can apply it with a cotton swab or brush and then gently rub or scrape away the paint. For larger parts or full models, soaking them in the remover for a period of time will help loosen the paint.
5. Fast-Acting:
Tamiya Paint Remover is a fast-acting solution, meaning that it works quickly to break down and lift paint. While the exact time required depends on the type and thickness of the paint, it generally doesn’t take long for the remover to start loosening the paint, making the stripping process efficient.
6. Non-Toxic and Safe:
Unlike some harsh paint removers, Tamiya Paint Remover is relatively mild and non-toxic. However, it’s still recommended to use it in a well-ventilated area and to wear gloves to avoid direct skin contact.
7. Works on Various Surfaces:
While it’s particularly useful for plastic models, Tamiya Paint Remover can also be used on other materials, such as resin and metal, making it versatile for different types of modeling projects. It’s great for when you need to strip multiple types of parts and surfaces.
8. Prevents Damage to Fine Details:
Since Tamiya Paint Remover is gentle on plastic, it is a good choice for models that have fine details, decals, or small parts. Some paint removers can damage delicate details, but Tamiya’s formula is designed to work efficiently without compromising the finer aspects of your models.
9. Ideal for Paint Correction and Kit Modifications:
Whether you’ve made a mistake while painting, need to correct the colours on a model, or want to repaint a kit, Tamiya Paint Remover is the perfect solution. It’s great for refinishing models, allowing you to easily remove the old paint and start fresh with new coats.
How to Use:
- For small areas: Apply the remover directly with a brush or cotton swab, then gently rub or scrape the paint off.
- For larger parts or complete models: Soak the parts in the remover for 15-30 minutes, depending on the paint thickness. After soaking, use a brush or soft scrub pad to remove the loosened paint.
Tamiya Paint Remover (250ml, 87183) is an essential tool for hobbyists who need to strip old paint from plastic models and miniatures. Its gentle yet effective formula ensures that you can remove paint without damaging the underlying plastic, while still being safe and easy to use.
