I'm not a pro, but it looks to me like you didn't wash the body before you started painting it.

I had the same exact problem with my camaro when using Krylon Fusion White. No matter how much I sand it down, the ripples don't go away. Anyone know how to solve this?

I did wash the body.

I did wash the body.

What kind of paint are you using then?

looks like you didnt use primer?,and it looks to have etched the plastic

He probly used that crylon plastic bonding or whatever spray paint.....not good for models.

I used krylon spray.

Theres you problem right there. I've never had any luck with Krylon, I once got a can of nothing but over spray, Id strip the body down with brake fluid, and see what you've got, I always use Duplicolor Auto Spray.It's really good paint and it pretty cheap.

I agree with James. Primer is essential if you are using "hot" automotive paint. Otherwise the solvents will eat into the plastic. Good for a strong bond but not good when the plastic is damaged. You could possibly sand the bad areas down, prime and try again.

I have the very same problem last week on a Aoshima Nissan Silvia S15. Washed, Tamiya Fine Primer and then a few dust coats of Tamiya TS14 Black then a few wet coat and it came out like this. No matter what I did it was still the same. It's in Dot 4 now being stripped.
I put mine down to the cold weather and humidity, but not really sure why :confused:

I'm having similar problems with Tamiya X-18 drying flat. Any ideas about that one? It really screwed me up when doing some touch ups.

I had Krylon do that to me on the Cobra in my avatar, I just sprayed another coat after a few minutes and it laid down smooth.
