I spray painted my model the other day gloss black. It came out good in some spots but others are all bubbly and rough. It looks rather pitiful. Can I sand it off and just touch it up? Or can I get the Paint off completely? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

bubly does'nt exactly give a imagine of what youre dealing with. I would get a bottle of CSC or brake fluid and remove all the paint, then repaint it making sure you follow hte steps from the FAQ

bubbly paint...did you paint during a cloudy or hazy day? sounds like moisture got into the paint. If it's not too bad then you can probably get away with sanding the area and then coating the body again but if the bubbles are quite large, you would have to strip it and paint it over. I've heard good things about CSC but we don't have that here so I use brake fluid.

The bubbles are most likely caused by the paint being to thick and running, trapping air bubbles under it. Your best bet would be to strip it and start again
