How to remove Mr. Mark Setter residue?

That looks like it's more than residue .
It appears to cut into that paint coat . , at least that's what it looks like when zoomed in

 

[durangod]

yep but all i had on there was mr mark, it was perfect before that, i tried water and wet paper towel gently, the decal covered almost all the back and no residue no where else.

How green was the paint ?

 

[durangod]

5 days, i wonder if i should try mr softer on that spot and wipe it off?

 

[urumomo]

uh ,
what's the idea behind that ?

Those decal solutions are acidic .
Why I asked how fresh the surface was .
You're going to need to repaint , or do at least a clear coat .
That will most likely hide it .
Was there a clear coat prior ?

 

[durangod]

no i have never clear coated any of my models. The idea was to soften up any particilates and wipe off but i wont

 

[urumomo]

A clear coat across that blemish would mitigate .
easier than shooting down more color ,
but I hear you .

 

[durangod]

im thinking if there is somekind of debrie stuck to paint, it will show clear coat or touch up paint

 

[urumomo]

Huh ?

 

[durangod]

nope softer did not work, ill lightly sand it to remove any contamination and respray.

I was thinking of respraying anyway as i wanted to fill in the assembly holes.

Yup… Always make it a habit to use enamel gloss clearcoat before decal sessions. Then spray another coat of clear - flat or gloss depending on the subject. The second coat will seal in the decals.

I highly doubt it.

If there's a Hobby Lobby in your area, that's where you'll find them instead of ordering them.
