Re: Painting tips

I agree, it sounds like you are spraying too far away. With your next model try painting a little closer. 8-12" works for me. Also you want to lay down a few mist coats, and then one or two wetter (thicker) coats. Becareful because you might spray more than enough and develop drips.

Your orange peel isn't bad, you still can get a nice glossy surface. You just have to wetsand and polish the body up like kev stated. Trial and error, and good luck.
