skid896 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Kemszi, do you sand back after the primer. I use 1000 grit to even the paint and get rid of orange peel effect or dust that settles in the paint. Then spray the topcoat. I learnt a lot from The Scalemodelling Channel on youtube, really talented guy from Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid896 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have not heard of using nail polish remover before. What effect does it have. Jereon that is good advice I will try the hair dryer next time between coats. What do you guys do to try and get neat window edging, I really struggle with the detail painting.

Kemszi Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 you can wash back the paint with it. But it must be careful because it easily cuts the surface, and may not work with all paint types 46 minutes ago, skid896 said: What do you guys do to try and get neat window edging, I really struggle with the detail painting. First i use this pen to make the contour line 2.i paint the edge of window with a thin brush. if I cross the contour ,then use 3M ultrafine polish, and 3M polishsponge to wash it back 3. use again the pen if it necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadInside Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 how did you get the bad paint job off in the second pic? that looks like kind of a comic book style how you stripped the paint, and it actually looks really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmcguire Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The acetone in nail polish remover will sometimes damage styrene and the acetone-free nail polish remover doesn't work well at all. Better off using either the strongest isopropyl rubbing alcohol you can find to soak it, E-Z Off Oven Cleaner, Purple Power/Simple Green or brake fluid. Stripping paint also depends upon what kind of paint was used and how long it has cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My trick is to let bodies dry in a cupboard, or at least tip a large box on its side and place the body in the box to dry, so its covered on 3 sides at least.
