Testors Thinners & Paint Removers

Browse Testors thinners and paint removers for painting, cleanup and restoration tasks. Choose a product for the job you actually need: adjusting compatible paint, cleaning tools or removing an existing finish.

Choose Supplies Around Your Build

Thinner and paint remover serve different purposes. Do not substitute one for the other without explicit product guidance. Match thinner to the paint system, and check a remover against the coating and model material before use. Always test a hidden area and follow label directions for contact time and cleanup.

Separate Painting, Cleanup and Stripping

Before selecting a solvent product, decide whether you are adjusting fresh paint, cleaning a brush or taking an old coating off a model. Those are different tasks. A product described as enamel thinner should not automatically be treated as a general-purpose stripper, and a remover should not be added to paint unless its instructions explicitly permit that use.

For restoration work, identify the model material and any clear parts, glued joints or details that may be exposed. Test a hidden area and use the remover according to its specific instructions. For routine painting, select the thinner recommended for the paint in use and keep cleanup tools appropriate to that system.
