Expert Answer

A bit of light sanding should get rid of the leftover paint and smooth things out.

Mineral spirits and lots of scrubbing with a sponge! You may be able to scrape some of it off with a razor blade as well. Blueskin primer is pretty strong, so this may take some time.

Mapei primer is a low-voc water-based primer. It isn't particularly strong, so it shouldn't be too hard to remove. Pick up a heavy-duty paint stripping solvent and use a disposable brush to cover the primer in your stripping agent. Read the label on the solvent to see how long it needs to soak and then use a putty knife to scrape the stripper off. The primer should peel right off of the door.

How do I remove oil based primer from vinyl flooring?

Community Answer

You can use thinner or acetone. Try using ethyl alcohol if the layer of primer is very thin.
