American 185 Heavy Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Hello fellow builders,I think I got a little too excited about applying a second coat of paint on a model, and didn't let it cure properly before doing so, for nowa large spot on the roof is wrinkling. What is the easiest way to deal with this, without stripping all the paint off which I am not in the mood todo or have the patience for. Thank you in advance
High octane Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Bruce, I usually apply three color coats of paint on my bodies at 20 minute intervals. I then clear coat the body the same way 24 hours later. I've never had a problem doing this.As for the wrinkled spot on the roof, you didn't say whether you were using enamel or lacquer paints. If lacquer I would let the paint "cure" for a week, sand the wrinkles out, mask the body and re-shoot the roof. If enamel paints were used I'd let the paint "cure" for 'bout a month and then sand the wrinkles out, mask the body, and re-shoot the roof. I hope this helps.
slusher Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I would wait as Nick, suggested and sand the roof after masking the body. I would lighty sand the spot and light sand the roof. Light coats are better then heavy ones.
