Did you import the model in paint room ?

1) Go back into the Paint Workspace and delete the problem meshes (so we don't have duplicates) from the Paint Objects or Surface Materials panels. Once you do this, at the bottom of the (Paint) layer panel, the last icon on the right will clear any unused paint layers. This is all a house cleaning measure.

Now we are ready to merge the modified mesh to the Paint room. Go to the BAKE Menu and choose "RETOPO to Per Pixel Painting (no bake)." This sends a copy of the mesh directly to the Paint Room, and you should be good to go.

2) Rather than house-cleaning then merging, you can just replace the mesh in the Paint room. Go to the RETOPO Menu > EXPORT. Then go to the Paint Room > FILE Menu > IMPORT > REPLACE GEOMETRY.

Hope either one of these helps.

Andrew added an option (BAKE Menu, IIRC) to REPLACE PAINT MESH with RETOP MESH, to streamline that process. This way the user doesn't have to export outside the application.
