Hi everyone! I'm new to mini painting, but I have been bitten by the bug. I'm on my second mini set (started with Descent and moved now to Castle Ravenloft). I have primed minis from Descent using citadels black spray without any issues. When I started with Ravenloft I tried white spray primer, but run into problems. I sprayed when there was really windy and I think I got too close to spray and got a lot of air bubbles (see image below). I'm wondering now if there is any way to fix it somehow. Do I use sandpaper or just paint over air bubbles? Any idéas?

What are they made from?

If plastic then you could strip in denatured alcohol/ methylated spirit with an old toothbrush to agitate

Plastic, softer than Descent minis.

How should the process look like? I would strip minis to original state, let them dry, wash with soap, wait for better conditions outside and prime?

I have used citadels liquid green stuff to fill some gaps, will I have to redo this as well?

Pretty much that. It strips it into pretty much original state(some small patches might be left). Wash wouldn't even be needed though(well with soap. I just wash under tap water). Just dry needed.

Green stuff might go off as well. Not sure about that one though. Generally my paint stripping has got rid of those but haven't tried with alcohol any models with green stuff yet so maybe that works differently.

Ok thanks guys! I found some white spirit, is it going to do the trick?

White spirit is oil based, needs to be alcohol

Ok, bought denatured alcohol and scrubbed away for around 2 hours (9 minis in total). Washed later with soap and let it dry for a while. Most of the green stuff was in place but needed to reaply on top to even out surfaces. Yesterday was a good day so I gave it a go. Here is result for posterity.

Thanks everyone for your help

Looks much better
