Paint Bleeding under mask..... - Page 2

Has anyone tried bare-metal foil for a mask? I heard it works really well.

I had paint leak under BMF before, but that was before I knew about the -seal-with-clear- trick. BMF also leaves some sticky residue to rub off...

I think I'm screwed. Nothing is removing the paint. I have the body sitting with some Easy Off oven cleaner on it. If that doesn't work, and it doesn't look good, I may try small amounts of varnish remover. That shouldn't harm the plastic.

I used the standard Tamiya grey metal and plastic primer. It bonds to the plastic a little too well, I'm beginning to think...lol

Unfortunately I can't get hold of anyone at Tamiya customer service either. Apparently they never answer their phones. I'm thinking that the one time I did get through was a fluke. Well, I'm not giving up just yet. Hopefully I can get this cleaned up and sanded.

Thanks for all the support,
Michael

The last time I stripped my S2000, it was Tamiya acrylics over Tamiya Grey Primer, and I could only get some/most of it off... It ended up very splotchy, but still smoothed out okay...

Well looks like I may have gotten my first bit of good news with this way ward body work. I let the Easy Off sit on the paint over night. Sure enough, this morning, the paint began to rub right off. Looks like I'll have to go through this at least once more though.

Thanks for all the help guys, it is much appreciated. I may be able to save this yet, and not have to buy a spare from Tamiya.

Michael
