Hi,

I think I take the safe way, so no brake fluid but the products from Revell or Testors if I can get it in my hobbyshop.

I still think grey primer of Zero paints is oké on resin but just light coats (no wet coat).

Thanks all for the advices!

I've used 90% isopropyl alcohol to remove paints from resin parts. Worked for Zero paint and Tamiya lacquers.
Might not work for all type of paints.

A little update,

Normally I would never use Zero paint thinner on plastic but I gave it a try on a small invisible area on the resinkit...and it worked! I could easily whip off the primer with the thinner without hurting the resin. So I cleaned up the whole kit,now waiting for the second time priming.

I would like to thank everybody for the help, that makes this forum so great!
