What is the fastest way to removing water base paint? I used createx paint and it reacted and now I got some fish eyes on the body! :( I want to remove it without having to work hard!
 
if it is a hard body I've always used yellow top easy off oven cleaner. Spray it on and leave over night and wash off with a water hose with good water pressure
 
water base

I would use easy off but don't want to harm the primer, so I picked up paint thinner and I just used a cloth to wipe up as much as I could off the body :) but another question?? Will enamel or acrylic paint react to water base paint??
 
I got problems with water paint reacting and cracking due acrylic paint, but never saw the other way.
 
VERY hot water in a bathtub will remove it, it needs to be extremely hot and you let the body sit in the tub for a long time. Adding a small amount of IsoPropyl alcohol will also help.
 
thanks
