What really surprises me is the "leveling of the clearcoat" showing the abrasive turning red with basecoat. Seems like the protective clearcoat layer was sacrificed by wet sanding thru the clearcoat well into the basecoat. Seems to protect well and shine! For the silver wheels, Duplicolor Silver wheel paint and wow! I rationalize, don't need a great paint job 'cause I use the Horses.

Posted November 19, Racinbob 8, I had great results with Regal red but it's a bit soft and scratches easy. The boat and motor look great, the horse too. The boat looks like it can fly with that engine. These are my observations. And I'm not the only very experienced modeler having this issue. Your method is perfectly workable, but until quite recently, it simply wasn't necessary for ME to go to all that rigmarole just to get a decent coat of primer down.
No pressure gauge, as my compressor is a diaphragm unit, but I'm able to reduce the air pressure by bleeding off air at my moisture trap as I described down to more than an acceptable level, giving me approximately a quarter inch or so wide spray fan with my airbrush about 1" from the surface being sprayed.
This is where the "Thin" part of my technique comes into play, as the thinner the paint, the less air pressure is needed. I guess I would call it "reducing" the paint spray pattern to something close to scale. But it was a "try it and see how it works" sort of thing, that turned out to be a fast learning--it just was never hard to learn to do.
I'm with Bill on this, that grit is awfully coarse for preparing a surface for painting. I've used and grit Wet or Dry sandpaper ever since I got my first AMT Styline Customizing kits way back in those came with a small sheet of grit. I figure that with surface prep, I worry more about roughness in the surface, sink marks that need a bit of filler, to be far more important than just about anything else--the smoother the surface of the body shell prior to any primer or paint is by far the most important issue.
I'm glad you agree with Bill. I don't use Rustoleum for anything voluntarily. It stays tacky for a long time. Krylon seems to dry pretty quickly and of course Dupli Color is best. Yes the nozzles suck and I use the Tamiya nozzles also. The paint is great and sands beautifully. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.
