if you don't want to strip the kit you could tone down the mottleing by doing a color wash..........sage

Love that Winsor n Newton stuff, I agree works wonders. It's actually formulated for artists I've heard. Not as harsh as others. So you would use cotton balls or a soft cotton cloth to remove the paint (there is a thread on this... ie: removing paint?) and soak the cotton ____, then just one swipe per side or pad/ball. Softly but firmly.
Personally, I would rather neutralize the color and go from there instead of taking off all my previous work. That's why I love heat-set paint, you get do-overs! :D
