Final coat of white is done. I'll leave this to cure for a day and then I'll start masking the Martini striping.

Re: Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick

A while back I did start masking of the striping and applied the red paint.




Unfortunately, some of the white stripped of from the primer. I must have had dirty finger, or else I can't understand what happened.

Re: Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick

After sanding and cleaning the flawed areas I tried some more white paint, but it was a slichtly different shade.



I've ordered the correct paint again and I'm waiting for that to arrive and have another go at this.

In the mean time I painted the wheels and assembled them. They are looking really good.

Re: Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick

I wanted to continue painting the body, but I kept having issues with the flaking paint
Only one option left... dunk the model in brake fluid to remove all the paint



The paint did come of nicely and after an intensive cleaning and light sanding, it was time to put a new first layer of primer on the body.







I knew those small imperfections would show up again. Nothing to worry about, just make sure to spot them all. A bit more sanding and some putty and I can leave the body now to cure.




I hope to sand the putty later today and lay down the first coat of white.
