Deluxe Materials Strip Magic

The Deluxe Materials Strip Magic (AC-22) is a fast-acting, controllable paint and decal remover designed for use in scale modelling, railway modelling, and general hobby work.

It is formulated to soften and lift acrylic, enamel, and other model paints without aggressively attacking most modelling materials when used correctly.

About Strip Magic

Strip Magic is a brush-on paint stripper that stays where it is applied, allowing precise removal of paint from selected areas rather than stripping an entire model.

It typically works in 5–15 minutes depending on paint type, softening paint so it can be gently wiped or brushed away.

It is designed for use on plastic, resin, and metal models, making it useful for correcting paint jobs or fully stripping old finishes.

Key Features

✔ Softens and removes acrylic, enamel, cellulose, and oil-based paints
✔ Works on plastic, resin, and metal models
✔ Fast action (typically 5–15 minutes)
✔ Non-corrosive and non-flammable formulation
✔ Useful for paint removal and decal stripping

Why modellers use it

Strip Magic is popular because it allows:

• selective paint removal (not full immersion stripping)

• repairing paint mistakes without damaging the model

• restoring older kits or second-hand builds

• cleaning up overspray or unwanted layers

It is especially useful when working on detailed kits where full chemical stripping would risk damaging fine parts.

Typical applications

✔ Correcting paint errors on plastic models
✔ Stripping old finishes from kits
✔ Removing decals and markings
✔ Restoring second-hand or pre-painted models
✔ Cleaning small painted sections without full disassembly

Application tips

• Mask surrounding areas where needed

• Apply with a brush or cotton bud

• Leave for a few minutes and check frequently

• Remove softened paint with cotton bud or soft brush

• Clean residue using isopropyl alcohol or similar

• Do not leave on bare plastic for extended periods

Skill level

Beginner to Advanced

Suitable for:

• beginners correcting paint mistakes

• intermediate modellers restoring kits

• advanced builders doing refurbishment or repainting work

Requires careful monitoring but is generally very user-friendly.

Summary

Deluxe Materials Strip Magic is a controlled paint stripping solution for models, designed to safely remove paint and decals from plastic, resin, and metal surfaces while giving modellers precision and control over the stripping process.
