Does Anybody Have An Idea On How To Get Primer Off Of Paint Without Sanding I Assume It Was Primed To Cover Rust And Or Patina Which I Think I Like I Also Need A Dark Green Dog House If Any Body Knows Of One

Why don't you want to sand? I think that would be easier to control then a chemical remover.

hmm.. Most primer over paint will flake off with a car wash sprayer. Might try that. Or carb cleaner. That takes off most anything.

hmmm... brake fluid?? that'll strip anything loose.

thats most of the quick ways, aside from wet sanding by hand untill the green shows through, you pretty much stuck imo.

I still think sanding is the way to go. Really fine sand paper, and stop and clean it off every couple of minutes to make sure you haven't gone to deep.
