6ohMax Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, just started working on this kit yesterday, first by washing off the body in some dawn dish soap and a light 800 grit wet sand to scuff the body up. Well, this morning I go to spray the third coat of Tamiya white primer...I inspect it all first blow the body off with compressed air and went to spray the third coat...well after I was finished I cleared the spray noxxle..went to inspect the final coat of prier and I see 2 pieces of lint or fuzz above the headlight holes...I ws about to use my tweezer to pull it off but I didnt want to mess it up. What are your recomendations to remove this without ruining or concaving the primer so it is even? Here is a picture, hope it's not too blurry..if you tild the screen a bit you can see the fuzz hehe Edited February 12, 2015 by 6ohMax
Brizio Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Let dry the primer, and after you can try to remove them. Sand paper, and primer.
6ohMax Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Right on , just did a light wet sand and re primed..looks good now....I am in the middle of finishing a 2010 Camaro SS. Just trying to prime everything to let it cure before I paint it. I'll have to get around ad upload some pics. Edited February 13, 2015 by 6ohMax
6ohMax Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Question, I have been to Hobby Lobby and Hobby Town here in Colorado Springs... they both do not carry the textured type of carpet you lay on the floor of the model. Can anyone guide me in the right direction as to which one to use....I see the model master simulated carpet but is there any other type of brand? I am looking for red
djmcguire Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 You can find embossing powder that some people use...I got some at Micheal's here in Castle Rock so I would assume they'd have it in the Springs and I imagine Hobby Lobby would carry it also (typically found in the scrap booking section). If you can't find any down there let me know and I can grab you some up here and throw it in the mail.
6ohMax Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Cool man thanks, I frequent hobby lobby quite often so i'll have to check to see if they have it. If not I just found some red model master off ebay.
