So, I had a run of bad luck while priming a few of my new dark vengeance pieces. I was spraying late in the evening because it was finally cool and dry enough to not make a mess of it...

Welp, long story short... It pooled in some places and I didn't realize because I left them out in my garage overnight to dry. So, I have a lot of obscured details on my lord and hell brute.

Does anyone know of I good way of removing primer?

Simple green or LAfantastic. Kinda like a less chemical paint stripper. Try to remove all and scrub off. Then wash, dry, and start over slower with thinner coats or misting

Have you read the Dakka article on paint stripping?

How about any of the numerous other threads on the topic, like this one, this one, or this one?

If you're using an actual primer, as opposed to "priming" with regular spray paint, it may prove too resilient for the gentler, 100% plastic-safe stripping agents. In that case, more specific inquiry might be warranted, but the general topic has already been covered, as nauseum, and most of the information available can be gleaned from the above sources, so a little leg work on your behalf should give you a suitable answer.

I have used simple green many times and tried various other things as well.

The primer does not want to come off. I have stripped so many models in simple green that the GW black primer seems like the only constant and permanent thing life.

Head over to the local Dollar General and grab a gallon of "Purple Power." Does what SG doesn't.

Safe on plastics, and metal. Unsure of resin, but that's not applicable to this situation.

Wear gloves, it's a tad caustic. But it is safe on plastics. At least the normal dudes. Not sure if the plastic is different for those kits or not, but I should think not.

Or check your medicine cabinet for some simple rubbing alcohol. I use the 91% myself. It doesn't remove the paint in chunks but instead dissolves it off. I've used it on primers as well and it even gets it out of the tough nooks and crannies that Simple green cant get to. Doesn't harm the plastic at all.
