weird paint reaction this is the second time

[Lownslow]

its happened both time i sanded to the prime and both times the exact same result

the paint is hok with regular laquer the primer is nason 2 part primer. i sprayed the body twice and didnt see the reaction anywhere else but that very same spot

I do'nt use nothing but the cans,but looks to me that you'll have to go

all the way to the plastic to fix that,it looks like something you missed on the first clean up

before painting.

Well it seems to be lifting the primer under the color in that area. Like there was oil or grease on the plastic. I would sand the roof through the primer to the bare plastic or filler. If it's filler, test to see if the HOK is too hot for it. Then clean with 91% alcohol or a 3M prep solution, then reprime and paint.

Write back when you solve it.

Jeeze-Earl beat me to it....

Your right Cato forgot to put the LOL on the last reply.

As for your build you have going here lownslow we have all been there.

I do'nt know if this kind of thing makes you want to give up on this one

but do,nt its looking to good to do that.

At least you did'nt do like me this weekend,I found out tha JADA kits are made of a diffrent plastic than

your regular kits and they do'nt bond well together.

So I went with another Revell kit to finish my truck.

Thats right cut up TWO CARS man was I mad.

So sanding that roof is'nt so bad.

Is that a resin body? I've had paint do that on resin- usually it's some leftover mold release that I didn't clean completely off, or some other surface contaminant.

By the way... what kind of car is that?

WOW-you work fast from the first post today. You should not have to redesign your build idea with a bogus vinyl top-it looks great all one color.

I'd stick with it and here's how; back down to the bare plastic, clean and get all scratches out then first coat should be a barrier coat-of FUTURE. Let cure 24 hours, DON'T sand-it will self-level. Then your primer and paint technique.

Some times I have TOO much patience...

[Lownslow]

thanks for all the replies guys i got impatient and fixed it with decals i think it helped too the hood was looking kinda naked

[junkman1153]

looks great you would never know about the paint problem

[ewaskew]

Yea man that came out good.

Thats a neat trick with the barrier I'll try that.
