Depends on what kind of primer you used.

I use the following product, which can be re-used and is water soluble. I use the bread storage container from wall mart (I stand it on it's end) and the shelf for the bread you can pull it out each time and it pulls your model out of the fluid without you having to dip your hands in there. This stuff is great and it won't take off the sheen of the plastic like brake fluid can do. It might take a little time for the automotive stuff, but it will take it off.

Hey Neal....I gotta agree with the guys ...Strip it and start fresh.

But....What was the cause of the peel ???? With white primer used on bare plastic,properly washed and sanded coverage is a bear to say the least...even with tamiya white. I would suggest a light grey as a base ...couple of mist coats do your sanding...or??..

Then hit with your white...it will take 4 or 5 light mist coats..and it will lay smooth. I shoot all grey primers and if using light or neon colors HOK BC26 white base will work very nice.........just a couple of my cents worth

Good luck
