If it took you 2 cans, you used too much.

AccordTypeR · #3 10-02-2007, 06:43 PM

yea I think so b/c on side fairings, paint is running

oh well....I might have to learn how to save paint again haha

it's been a while I have been modeling so I forgot the technique I learn haha

I'll post the WIP when the paint gets dried

If the paint is running, that's more than just a little too much

If you have an airbrush and you decant the paint from the aerosol and apply it with the airbrush it seems to go a lot further.But using 2 cans for a Moto GP model does seem a bit much.Try building up the paint in lighter coats so that it doesn't run.Ray is right if it's running you are applying too much paint to quickly.

I actually applied light coat and it ran one can quick

and 2nd coat was heavy but too heavy I guess

oh well....learning process I guess haha

and I'm too broke to buy me a airbrush set >.<

I can usually get 1.5-2 1/24 cars out of a can of Tamiya spray. So using 2 cans on a bike.....
