They are enamel based? That’s odd. I use Revell “Aqua Color Clean” (strong acrylic thinner) to clean my AB after spraying them and it works perfectly.

I tried using different acrylic thinners to remove Vallejo paint without damaging the clear coat underneath. Every solvent dissolved the clear coat except Vallejo’s AB thinner (that one is a really mild solvent)…
