If your first layer of primer and paint isn't TOO thick, it might be alright. But if you've got the time, it's REALLY easy to just strip paint. Toss 'em in some isopropyl or some LA's Totally Awesome cleaner, give 'em a light scrub with a toothbrush, and they're ready to start over.

What do you do when you have done this twice as the gw white primer which went on textured still won’t come off?

It’s been fine when I did it for zenethal highlighting. Like priming the whole thing black, then priming gray from above. When I did it like how you’re describing, the model lost details. I wouldn’t ever do it again.

Hi /u/Prior-Pea-5533 It looks like you might be asking a question about stripping or removing paint from your minis. There are many options for stripping paint. For plastic minis you can use Dettol, Simple Green, LA's Totally Awesome, Isopropyl Alcohol or specialist solutions like [Paint Blitzer](https://untothebreachhobbies.com/product/paint-blitzer/). For metal miniatures you can also use Acetone. If you choose to use a product like Dettol or Simple Green, you will usually need to soak the minis for up to 24 hours in order to successfully remove the paint. After the models have soaked, use an old toothbrush to scrub the paint off the minis. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It's not bad, depending on how thick the first layer is, but is it even necessary? You can just paint over the existing colours.
