Why!!???

This week was not a good customizing week for me... I sculpted (what I thought) was a pretty good Kraven head, but after I painted him he ended up looking like a bratty little child that lives about three doors down from me named Imanual. Then, I over primered a head that took me hours to detail and now he looks like Pee Wee Herman! Sorry to dump my pitty-party on you all, sometimes things just don't work... BUT I MUST PUSH ONWARD! TO GO WHERE NO CUSTMIZER HAS GONE BEFORE!

Don't worry about it. We've all had weeks like that, it'll pass and next week will be better

If sculpting gives you lemons, make lemonade. Do a PeeWee custom!!!

Is there a way to take the paint off and start all over without messing up the sculpt?

Yeah just shoot some Dawn Power Dissolver on the head. In 10 minutes the paint will come right off. Just don't get any on your skin cause it will take the top layer off. I use the DPD to clean my airbrush with. It won't harm plastics. I've used it to clean old dirty mego heads with too. Best stuff in the world for the job. Turns a dirty or a "clean" mego head into a MINT head. ALWAYS test any new products on an old head FIRST. You don't want to mess up a good head or part.

You can also use a product called "Oops!" that you can find at WalMart that will not harm plastics. I use it to remove paint from plastic miniatures, though it sometimes takes a bit of soaking to remove paint deep in sculpt lines.
