Could probably put decals on before the paint too so they don't fall off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I find that heat sealing a painted and decaled model yields optimum results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty seconds of that heat treatment and you will have NO further problems from that model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit couple of local automotive body shops and ask the guys that paint the cars whether what you stated is true. You know? Those professional spray painters? I can just see them rolling on the floor laughing. Seriously dude!! Wake up! Also, there are professional auto body people who are members here, and lots and lots of modelers who produce superb airbrushed and rattle-can paint jobs. LISTEN TO THEM, AND SKIP THE "pure physics, algebra, meteorology and chemistry" stuff. Someone here needs a dope-slap here (and it's not me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xingu Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Well, going back and reading this thread it looks like some of you have veered off into the trolling/abusive behavior category. I would suggest everyone stop doing that, we are going to start cracking down on that type of behavior. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had torque wrench's, hole gauges, thickness gauges, dial indicators, steel rulers and shop manuals with printed data in them to work with. Painting is pure physics, algebra, meteorology and chemistry. Look temperature and humidity and consistency are important and can be quantified. However the majority of painting success is technique. That is something that can't be quantified it has to be learned. The only way to develop technique is hands on experience. Start painting. Otherwise you are wasting your time.

StevenGuthmiller Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I think the time may have come where it’s just time to ignore the OP, let him go through all of his goof ball gyrations, and see if he actually produces anything. He told me a couple of days ago, and I quote, “I beg your pardon? I can post photos of what I’ve done if you wish to see them.” To which I replied, “By all means, let’s see them.” What have I seen so far? Yes, you guessed it.......a whole lot of nothing. Par for the course. 😑 Steve Edited November 13, 2021 by StevenGuthmiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) But Steve he is working at his typical pace to produce and post those pictures. At this point in time he is requesting information from the manufacturer of his camera for the optimal conditions for taking pictures with his camera. He will have to wait to get those optimal conditions. Then he will need to contact his computer provider for the ideal way to transfer said pictures to this site. I'm sure someday will will see those pictures. Edited November 13, 2021 by bobthehobbyguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
