What do you use for flat and satin black?
yh70 replied to LennyB's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
my go to flat black is Rustoleum. i have never had a problem with a different sheen, sometimes tacky or doesn’t dry. i live in the deep south of Louisiana 30 miles off the gulf. down here you walk outside at daylight in the summer months (that's about year around) your soaking wet in 30 minuets. that's why i spray inside with a vented spray booth. so your problem may be weather related..new can i shake 3 minuets. no more no less. after that anytime i use it on a regular basis 2 minuets no less. if it sets over a month back to the 3 minuet shake. you got to because they big cans.. -

Lee its one of them things you just gotta sand a little at a time.. the old AMT molds are worn out.

been many years ago since i built the General. i cant recall having a problem. i take it you have one of the new release kits. i have had problems with other kit windshields. this is how you fix it. take your sanding stick and start sanding a little at a time where the windshield is tight checking it as you are sanding. you may have to sand both sides , bottom & top to get it to fit right. doing this your windshield will fit way better..

i'm in the process of building a 3D Chevy 5500 service truck with crane , air compressor & Miller Welder on it. hrs of sanding even after i took the #0000 steel wool to it. on the second day of sanding this showed up (takes about 2 weeks to get) my sanding blocks from AliExpress..what a life saver.. if you dont have a set get you one they well worth the money. also ck out all their hobby tools. everything i have ordered has been top quality. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807604374230.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.2f2c1802aa6hY4

you dont have to spray the Revell Chrome over a black surface. you will still get the same shine..i live in the deep south of Louisiana and the Chrome i can handle it in 2 days with out any clear coat..

a lot of the ripples can be taken out with #0000 steel wool . then the bigger ones with 4-600 grit sand paper followed up with the steel wool. the big nasty ones lol like i got on my 5500 chevy truck its body filler time. no way around it. i do care how much filler primer you spray they still gonna be their..the last 3D truck i just finished was a Ford 350 Super Duty with very little prep work. so get ready to do body work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018SCH2W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
