Many of us rely on commercially available airbrush cleaners to remove paint from our brushes either as a wash step after spraying or during a complete break down and cleaning. To be clear, most of the cleaners tested in this study will do an acceptable job cleaning wet or partially dried paint from our brushes. The removal of paint that has dried completely to the metal surfaces of our brushes is the focus of this study. Dried paint can be removed by a cleaning solution in two ways: 1) the cleaner can fragment and/or dislodge dried particles of paint from the surface they’re stuck to or 2) the cleaner can dissolve or solubilize dried paint thereby putting it back into solution. From the standpoint of cleaning airbrush parts, a cleaner that solubilizes dried paint is preferred. In order to test how efficiently common airbrush cleaners dissolve dried paint, the crew down in the underground paint lab came up with something a little different.
