Tamiya 87089 Airbrush Cleaner 250ml, 87089

Product Information

Even though the above process sounds a bit long winded, it actually only takes a couple of minutes each time and becomes sop much part of the proceedings, that you hardly notice it. There are a lot of different products that are suitable for cleaning an airbrush. These range from name brand products made by the same companies that make airbrushes and airbrush paint, to run of the mill household items that you probably already have under the sink or in the garage. I have always used the Tamiya Airbrush cleaner from basically when I started using my paint thrower, and also had the issues mentioned above.

Know the problem. Dart Herald with wings on 18" (450mm) width of booth 18".. Leaving wings off as long as possible. Paint building up is common with acrylics. Again a brush and some Alcohol or Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner work very well.Quite a range there.... I was also told to use Nail paint remover, so another vote for Acetone. Acetone seems a good start point, "shiny shiny" suits me....Also told to use car windscreen cleaner.

I always keep a cotton bud dipped in X-20a handy when spraying Tamiyas and use it to remove the paint build up at the nozzle. even the paint reservoir and a cotton bud took some effort, doesnt look like it did when it was brand new just prior to this test. For cleaning out the brush. I use Spraycraft or Liquid Reamer cleaner from an aerosol can. I then spray some tap water through the brush to clear out any remaining cleaner. This automotive windshield washer fluid makes an outstanding airbrush cleaner and as you can see it’s dirt cheapVallejo Airbrush Cleaner works very well with the acrylic Vallejo Game Color which are a pain to airbrush. Should work with Tamiya as well. Alcohol is also a very good cleaner for all things acrylic. I do not recommend using cotton buds with airbrushes, though it seems to be common practice. I highly recommend using old brushes instead.
