I just use very fine sandpaper.  You can now get it up to 10,000 grit!  I generally use about 2000 grit. It does not strip the paint off, just sands down the dust.

I use enamel, and the longer drying time invites more dust while it is still wet.  I made a heated drying box.  Not only does it speed up drying, but I get far less dust than I did previously.

Maybe try a q-tip with a weak kind of enamel thinner, and then do the gentle rub like I mentioned above?  Hopefully someone more experienced than me has better advice.

What paint/primer?  With water based acrylics, I've found I can moisten a q-tip and gently rub at a piece of dust to get it out.

As the title of the post suggests, unfortunatly while I am able to airbrush, it's not the most airbrush friendly environment that I have.  Is there anyway to get debris out of paint/primer without stripping the paint?
