couple newbie problems..

[jdmstreethatch]

first problem I have is that I primered a corvette body in gray primer. I have sprayed several coats of Gloss Yellow paint over it but the primer is still showing through, any suggestions??

on my first finsihed model i painted it Tamiya Gloss White and its very sticky when you touch the body, is there something I can spray over the model after I paint it to make it feel smooth?

Whenever i brush paint smaller parts such as dash boards, roll cages, engines, stuff like that, i always get brush marks in the paint. Any tips for brush painting??


thanks
chris

Maybe those parts are too big to be painted with a brush
No but seriously, i wouldn't paint dash boards and engines with a brush. Those a bit too big for that. Roll cages, i paint those with brush, though i have never had the problem of seeing the brush marks.

With light color, like yellow, you NEED to use White primer.

Tamiya Acrylic do that. If you don't want brush mark, Enamel is better for that. Try making many small coat. There is no real solution for this (beside using an airbrush or enamel paint)

a vric no offence but jdmstreethatches 1st model was gloss white not black

on the brush painting. invest in cheap wal mart paint. it is great for spray painting items such as that. that 94 cent can goes quite a way. if you dont use, or can't get white primer. always spray white under any light color. the base coat be it primer or first coat of paint affects the final color. if you spray metallics, always lay down some silver before the final color coat.
