After several months of painting (I estimate close to 60 hours+ because I procrastinated since purchasing the game and expansion upon release), I finally finish painting my miniatures. While applying the final coat of clear primer, about half of my figures decided to take a mud bath or dirt nap. Various minis were jacked up including the eldrazi ruiner. Any comments/suggestions?

You mean the clear coat fogged up on you? I'm a little confused by what you mean.

No, sorry my first comment was a little rage induced. I should have just said that they fell off the table while I was not looking. Frost/Fog from the clear coat is not an issue for me. I am not entirely new to painting miniatures I used to customize some Star Wars Miniatures when they still sold that game. I know you can fix that by applying another coat and letting it dry underneath a light. I was using a large sheet of cardboard and spraying my figures, when I guess the wind blew/knocked the sheet onto the ground into mud/dirt. It is my fault for wanting to spray on the first decent day. It heated up 30o from freezing and was still a little wet and windy. After waiting a few hours for the miniatures to dry, I assessed the damages. All of them were salvageable. I just took a dry paintbrush and my fingers and gently scraped away the dirty paint to reveal the plastic in those areas. I then repainted and dry brushed those parts, so no one will notice but me. Overall, this fix took about 2 hours.

I'm glad you were able to un-mud the figures.
