Small alternate Howto

I would just let you know something i have done last 2 model with good result:

I don't use soapy water.. I use Thiner ! I wash the body with Thiner (from the same brand of the paint you will use) Put thiner on a cloth, and wash the body. That get off all the finger print and dust from the model, and you don't have to wait after for painting... Better ! you won't get reaction if soap still on the body when painting (I remember a guy with his Porsche GT3 )

I wash with Thiner and go paint it. after this, I put my model in microwave for about 12 hours to keep it out of dust. after i leave it dry 24 to 48 hours on my desk (dust can be easyly removed since it's praticly dry after 12 hours in microwave)

This is my personal Howto... sure Primeraman is the king, so his Howto is probably better ! but just wanted to let you know an alternate way.
