SamBred Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 this is twice now I've tried to paint my mustang body with Dupli Color paint from advanced auto I've have bought 2 kits also because paint will not come off in purple pond. I use this paint with Dupli Color primer also. Im going to try again. I also don't think I'm doing wet sanding in correct order. Could I get some advice on which rattle can paint you all have good luck with? In which order do you all like to prime paint wet sand and polish your bodies?

BigTallDad Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 How old is the solution in the purple pond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Solution was brand new at the time I put body in. Purple Power. My issue is seems like that paint is going on so thick and also looks terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Also I tried painting trim...didn't work. Used paint marker...didn't work. So I'm gonna try BMF for first time but seems like trim on body is so thin. Hope I can do it. Also the paint builds up around emblems that are on body. What should I do about that?

JollySipper Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 My issue is seems like that paint is going on so thick and also looks terrible.That sounds very uncharacteristic of Dupli-Color....... The Perfect Match paints go on super thin. Are you using the big cans? I get good results from the small touch-up cans...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 The acrylic enamel it's a bigger can than the perfect match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) My answer would be to get an airbrush, but that is not what you are looking for. Did you try to warm up the spray can in lukewarm water before spraying? As far as paint removal goes, is it the color layer or the primer layer which is not coming off?

935k3 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Try 91% Alcohol on the color coat then try Easy-Off(yellow can) on the primer.Stripping TipsLacquer - 91% AlcoholEnamels and primers- Purple Pond or Easy Off(Yellow can) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Im going to try again. I also don't think I'm doing wet sanding in correct order. Could I get some advice on which rattle can paint you all have good luck with? Try Super Clean or brake fluid for strippers.I use Tamiya, Testors, lacquers and enamels. I do use Krylon and Rustoleum enamels.. If you wet sand put some soap in the water.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 If the paint is going on too thick, sounds like you have to back off on the distance and use lighter coats. Multiple light coats will work better than one heavy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Haven't warmed paint up...the paint and primer comes all at once but it's like I have to chop it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 i have been de-canting Dupli-color acrylic enamel to use in a air brush and thinning with lacquer thinner. My goof-ups seem to strip better in brake fluid so they go into the "golden pond". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON-T2 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just don't use brake fluid on a resin body as will turn to rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Okay so this time in the purple pond the paint seemed to come off a lot better I don't know why it was just a different color and I didn't even leave it in pond as long but still had some paint on it so I sprayed brake clean on it and didn't really do much now going back to purple pond to try to get the rest off. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to use this body might have to trash another one! I will take a pic of first body which is red then second body which is black.
