Well, I hope you're wrong about the primer, Markus. I am familiar with the 2-part paint process, but I would think primer would be a single paint. Whether it's 2-part or 1-part, it WAS a paint that could be thinned before spraying, and if it could be thinned, it must be soluble. I just have to find the right chemical remover.

I have an airbrush and can successfully paint small models...it's only when I try to paint large pieces like the mirror housing that I have such rotten results.

A modeling website I visited suggests that a Lestoil soak might remove the remaining paint and primer without affecting the plastic. I'm giving that a try.
