As a novice painter myself, it helps to know that if I really #%@ up a mini.... I can always soak off the paint in floor cleaner. Nath knows the right brand to use. Yup here is the process... 1. paint the mini poorly, 2. soak in floor cleaner, 3. repaint the mini poorly, 4. resoak in floor cleaner, 5. repeat steps one through four as needed to reach optimum frustration. Hope I could help.
