I just bought this car and after priming it and then painting it I am already having a problem with it. I bought some purple metallic Model Master paint which is the only kind at this one hobby shop I went to. I sprayed the car and it looked like an amazing paint job but after I let it sit for a couple hours then the paint ran down the side of the car and bubbled. So how would I fix this?

I am sad to say, you will need to strip it. There are several different ways to do it. You also may want to try to use a primer next time. Trust me, it helps. I had to learn the hard way.

I agree, I can't see any salvation for that paint, it has to come off. I'm sorry, but this is something we all go through at some point in life. Look at it as a modeler's initiation rite. :roll: :wink:

I used primer but I might need to put more coats on. I also sanded the bubbles and excess paint and resprayed it and it worked. I could have stripped it but I couldn't find any more bottles of that color spray paint. I think my main problem was spraying when it was a windy day. Thanks for your help guys.

Too much paint sprayed too close is my guess. glad you got it fixed, post some more pics.

Here are some more pictures. I have the motor built which needs some touch ups here adn there. I also have painted the inside of the car but paint went through the tape and got on the outside. But luckly I found the same color in a bottle so now I can use a brush on it. I am also painting white diamonds on the seats so they will look better.
