How can I get paint off my clear parts? I was useing Tamiya paint. 1st, mastake did not use Future, 2nd used a spray can for the job. Was useing a toothpick to scrape off the paint but was scared of cracking the part,is there anything i can use to remove the paint while not fogin the clear parts? Thank you Rick

What I have used ,and it works great,is a plastic cuticle scraper,or if you have some old testors paint brushes,the plastic handle ones,just cut the brush part off and cut it so that it looks like a scraper on the end.This way you won't scratch the clear plastic

If you have any wet wipes handy, try those. If you use a chiseled toothpick, push it along gently rather than stabbing or scraping back and forth. A little water or windex might help. If its a canopy, wad up some toilet paper, kleenex whatever, wet it, and stuff it in to give the part some support.

Thanks Damon, in the pass I've tryed windsheild washer fluid and it foged the canapy a little. Maybe windex is not to strong, will give it a try. Thanks again, Rick
