You have a few problems here, firstly the colour is all wrong. Those colours really don't work on Abaddon, at the moment there also a bit random.
The photo quality isn't good either, which you probably can't help but really if your photo's aren't clear there isn't much point posting as its hard to see in any detail and give proper advice.
The paint looks a bit thick as well.
I would strip the model, wait to get the correct paints and start again, try keeping to the generic way of painting Abaddon, it will be easier, probably look better in the end as well.

Abaddon the clown? But on a serious note, the colours are all wrong, and I really mean wrong. Look in the gallery or even at the GW copy of Abaddon to get a proper colour scheme.

Can I be honest?

Is this a joke? Or a trolling attempt? It's seeming like that - as others have pointed out the colours are so far wide of the mark it isn't funny. There's almost no attention paid to details such as the trims and they seem to be placed randomly.

Furthermore - if you know the colours aren't a broad range - why try to fill spaces in? Green skin? Really? No thoughts of trying perhaps to mix red and yellow to get an admittedly orange-ish tone or finding white to add to the red to try and get a pinkish tone for the skin?

That's strangely what I think too, and if it's not, then it's not in the right section.

OK good advice how do i strip the paint?

GW paints are water soluble, so if you just add a little bit of water to the dried paints and give it a good stir with the end of brush you should be able to use them again. Once you have some more paints to work with I'd give it another go and use some less colorful paints on him.
