how do Iremove primer

[caireparavel]

I have just sprayed a very nice base with white army painter primer. I think I had the can to far away ,as everything that was smooth has now become gritty and horrible. Is there an easy way to remove it all and start over ?

thanks

No easy way I dont think. I use oven cleaner. Could you give it a lite rub down with extra fine steel wool?

Think the oven cleaner is going to be the safest bet. Good luck.

Primer is usually meant to be sanded, try that before stripping. Stripping usually leads to trouble.

What's the base made of?

[caireparavel]

it is a resin base, sorry should have mentioned that earlier

Well I've been using Polly S "Easy Lift Off" quite a bit lately , which smells and feels a lot
like brake fluid, so I would think either of those, or oven cleaner would work just fine.

91 % alcohol and a soft brush will remove just about anything . Try it on a piece that is not important first. Not sure what it will do resin .

Yikes stripping - what's the model - aircraft or armor, if armor is it to be weathered with mud etc - if so sand or use a paper towel for smoothing - then weather it after painting


One product I swear by is Tamiya Fine white primer, I use this on all builds, all it needs is a light rub down with paper towel to smooth it off - just leave it for a good day to fully cure.

It is Very forgiving - even if you spray too close or too heavy.
