Yeah,
I wasn’t looking forward to sinking it into brake fluid but it’s now inevitable. I foolishly thought that by painting the trim it might actually hide the white edges that appeared because of the clear – how wrong that theory was. It has actually made it worse. As for masking, I’ve attempted this twice now using Tamiya Masking tape and a brush, and everytime it’s leaked. Now using an airbrush I can lay this tape down, put a very light mist of paint to seal, and it works. Therefore I know this tape can work without leaking. So, no more brush painting window trims. Airbrush from now onwards.
Oh – I don’t need a new body – ha..!!, it’s just the clear coat that messed this one up. I learnt that this stuff is horrid to apply. I’m thinking I might use an airbrush when I get it repainted to clear it, instead of using that horrid TS-13.
So, it’s being stripped, and I learnt that –
Window Trims + masking tape are hard to paint using a brush.
TS-13 clear is bloody horrid stuff to apply
Just a quick question - DOT2 brake fluid is now harder to get then DOT 3 4. DOT 3 or 4 will be OK won’t it? Leave it soaking for 3 – 4 hours and then brush the paint of with an old toothbrush?
