Jantrix Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks for the input guys. I'm stoked to try it again now. I will do it without from the top down into the water like Jim described earlier and I will swirl the paint, before I start spraying into the water.

crazyjim Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hope you mean swirl the water, Rob. I've used Testors enamels over the water and trying to stir the paint when it's on top of the water will cause the paint to stick to whatever you try stirring it with.

Jantrix Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Yeah I found that out too Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Ha, ha. No fun was it? Using a large stir stick after plunging the body in will get rid of the paint residue. DO NOT PULL THE BODY OUT UNTIL THE REST OF THE PAINT HAS BEEN REMOVED!! Been there. Done that and had to strip the paint. Here's one I did years ago.

pandamonium2112 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This has turned out to be a fasinating post. I've enjoyed following it. I'm going to give this a try also. I'll share my results in a later post, On Bench or Under Glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roncla Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I can remember that Car model article from back in the day though my copy of the mag has long gone. This is a link to a Hydrographics kit. It uses a similar technique and while it may or may not suitable for our models the range of patterns available and the parts that can be covered is something I found interesting. The instructional video may hold some tips that can be of use to us. http://www.mydipkit.com/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I have not. The wagon body went back into the box for later. It is on my list of things to do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
