Here are some of my recent builds, I had problems with all of them, and the problem was I used krylon primer, that caused me so many problems. Now these builds are based off of cars that I have in the game Gran Turismo, I had been doing NASCAR and Police car builds ( 6 Linberg Chargers one Magnum) I wanted to do something Different so I thought it would be cool to do some cars that are in the game. I scratch built the spoiler wing on the 458 and the Enzo, the wing on the GTR came from the Viper kit, I took the wing off the eclipse amt kit that was in a box in bad shape. I

All but the Nissan GTR are Revell kits, I have fit problems with the Enzo, I was trying to get a smudge off the 458 and managed to remove the future and the gloss coat.

But I did learn that I need to never use Krylon primer on kits again

Nice stuff, you 'recovered' nicely,lol! I don't know what Krylon did to their formula but it sucks...I've had issues with all their paints lately.

even with all the flaws, they look pretty good.

i think the new formula will have to do cause of the EPA perhaps???

For all the trouble you had with the Krylon they all still look Awesome! The Game was a great inspiration for building them..:):P:lol: .

The GTR kit is my favorite, I have always had a sweet spot for the skylines, now the GTR, the GTR kit was one I was looking forward to very much, and that is the one that krylon primer near ruined the body. I was able to somewhat salvage it, after a bath in the purple stuff, and a lot of sanding I was able to get back to a point where I could paint it.

The krylon white primer really crazed the heck out of the body. And the punch in the gut, was after I finished with the painting the body, had the clear on it, I some how got a small kick on the roof, down to the primer.

So after a few weeks, I masked the entire body and resprayed the roof.
