Tha paint look good, but when you tutch it, it feel rough and that make the paint not as shiny as it should. Usually a good compound do the trick, but it's start to piss me off a bit since my last project (Wald Altezza) was paint with a praycan i used for an another model (I did not run out of paint, but it was just 3 light coats) Since it's only 3 light coats, I can't compound it since i'm sure I will hit the primer really fast.

So what is this rough thing that go over my paint ? What I usualy do:

2 Coat of primer
waiting 2 day
3 light coat of paint, waitin 15 minute between each coat.
I put my model in Microwave between coat and when it is done

after 6 hours, the paint is dry and I can see this problem.. I do some small details on it (panel line and window trim) but I don't really tutch it before 7 days

I didn't had this problem before and now it does this on my 4 last model. I did try to paint in another room and see if it was dust or something, but I have the same problem.

Also, only the top of the car seem rough, so maybe it's something wrong with tamiya spraycan when you run out of paint ?

Thanks for help
Next time you should buy another spraycan of paint.
i had this problem before. i tried to use the leftover paint in the can, and ended up only managing to spray 3 mist coats. Next time...DON'T stinge on the paint...BUY ANOTHER CAN JUST IN CASE
Anyway don't feel offended ok?
