[TitanX]

ok when i paint i get nothing but bubbles and cracks, looks like vaines through most of the model, I prime and i sand and i prime and i sand some more before i put on the color coat - i use paint for plastics and primer for plastics - I dont understand can anyone help or suggest what might be happening

sounds like orange peel to me, usually caused when u paint and there alot of humidity, try paintin when the humidity isnt as high, happens to me alot.

i paint in my basement, no dehumidifier could esplain it possible that the primer is not drying properly. Any advice on removing chrome without scraping? Its been a while since i put any models togetther and now im trying to re-do some while putting together new ones

I use CSC, which is Castrol Super Clean, u can find it at anywal-mart, it is ina big plastic purple jug , itsa a concrete cleaner, or if u have any oven cleaner that works just as well, just dont get the oven cleaner on ur hands it will burn them.

Iv got a 57 chev sittin in the CCS right now, stuff works great but takes a few days for the paint to come off, didnt know it would work on chrome though. Thanks

I Get that when i dont let it dry long enough before you put more paint on. Till my prowler I never had a prefect paint job because I couldn't wait. With the prowler i waited, never had a paint job as good! I just clear coated my GTO and it looks better then my Prowler.:22yikes: I got the vines in my hatchback because i painted it then took it in the house. About 4 hours later tryed puting clear coat on it cuz it felt dry to the touch wasn't a good idea I can say!

Thanks, that could be my problem as well, i get a little impatient too, and for the first time i started to use clear tonight on a 69 superbee, sprayed it with grey metallic, kinda looks like gunmetal color then sprayed it with clear man it looks great

Maybe you should stop painting in your basement. Try painting in the bathroom, in the tub. This way you wont get dust on your model (unless you have a really dusty bathroom ) and if you get paint in the tub all you have to do is wipe it off with soap water and a rag.
