M MTrying to find a way to use my Tamiya Panel Line paint over some flat acrylic. Can I brush paint X-22 clear over my color and then use my panel line paint? Every time I try to use Tamiya thinner (x-20a) to clean up my excess panned line paint it wipes up my base coat. Maybe I am using the wrong type of thinner to clean up the excess panel line paint?
My process has been base coat Tamiya XF-68, Tamiya panel line accent, Tamiya thinner to wipe excess. It’s wiping everything (rightfully so).

Flop_SeMay you have to try enamel thinner or odorless thinner, or may be lighter petrol to clean the wash up

Flop_SeI spray after the required base colors the clear coat (for example x22). Than i apply the wash (enamel or thinned oil colors) the important is, that your protecting clear coat not a enamel based color is. Otherwise the enamel thinner (which you use to wipe off the wash) will attacks your clear (acrylic) coat. I hope that will help you!
