i have never worked with resin before, i noticed my chaos black undercoat
have been chipping before i even touch the model ( especially around the edges )

does anyone have any tips to maybe how to remove the current chaos black
so i can make a new fresh coat that will last for a long while?

Pine-sol will get rid of the paint on it right now, did you try spray primer?

**grizgrin**

I use brake fluid to strip plastic, but have never had occasion to put resin in it. Try it on a test spot and see what happens.

Auto primer.

Give the resin a good scrub with dish liquid and water, rinse.

Go over it again with a scrubbing brush and rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry.

hit with auto primer. Better to do multiple thin passes than one thick gluggy coat.

yes i used the gw spray primer.

*update the coat is really thin , should i just do touch ups on the chipped area or strip all?

what kind of paint is good for touch ups on resin ;_;

ugh i hate this lol

absolutely.
almost every time i've seen someone complain about paint chipping/peeling off of resin it's due to not properly cleaning it first.

i scrubed it very very cleanly D: its my first resin model also the largest one i have, wasnt taking chances with it :x

i think im going to use mr surfacer if i manage to strip it.

I'll second the auto primer. It's actually what FW recommends on their site. I think that might be more the issue here than cleaning.
