Do not start the next coat of paint until the first coat is dry.

I think someone has painted prematurely before.

Here's one, Do not leave kits where animals, younger siblings, or brainless sister-in-laws can handle them. I have had problems with all of the above.

Be careful with sharp knifes.
After being a big hero and saying how i've never done anything to hurt myself while doing a kit.....today it all changed I'm doing the Tamiya WRX kit and had been to work to use the lathe to make up some small rim spacer's for some different rims i'm fitting to the kit. When i got home i had to scrape away a small bit of plastic from one of the tiny bushes i had made. Well......the knife slipped and i managed to bury the end of the knife into the tip of my thumb very deeply..... *@!&^% I'm not a happy camper.

This one is pretty obvious, but be careful about leaving paints open, unattended, even for a second, especially with pets and smaller siblings.
Cleaning Gloss Black paint out of my carpet, was not fun

Heres a real good one.
If you need to strip the paint off a kit. DO NOT USE BRAKE CLEANER I sprayed down a 97 Ford Explorer kit that Ive had for a while, and it had some fat runs in it, so i sprayed it with break cleaner, put it in a bucket to soak, came back 20min lator and all that was left was a pile of odd colored slop Always use Castrol Super Clean to strip kits, as mentioned by others. I highly suggest against experimentation, unless you like melted kits |

Really? I'd always heard good things about using brake cleaner, but when it came down to it I got CSC just because it was biodegradeable, and I wouldn't have to worry about how to get rid of it. That sucks, dude! :cry:
