s2000 Update

I sprayed my s2k.... turned out really bad... but it's to be expected as my first time spraying a model. I kept getting these bubbles and such.. so annoying...

Its hard to tell from the pics, but I defin't so see anything a rubbing compound can't take out. Car looks fine to me, just rub it out in about a week.

it looks to me like dust got caught in the paint...


i agree with clatescivicr about the rubbing compound. should be no problem for it. maybe use a high grit sand paper like 1500 or 2000 to get the rough spots out. then go at it with the compound, then some nice wax

good luck.. looks good so far...hehe. nice idea for a stand... might use it next time

I spray outside, and just before spraying, I wipe down the body with a swiffer cloth, just to make sure it's clean.

By the way, what kind of paint are you using? did you heat the can? what temperature were you spraying at?

Cant tell in the Pics of the bubble you speak of but this may have been caused because of 1) No Base Coat of Primer 2) Irregular Temp. 3) Oily Surface......Yet the Pics make the piece look very nice....good job...

Exactly the same thing happened with my 1st kits as well. Luckily I discovered AF pretty soon after!!!

Sand it back and prime the body before painting.
Have a read of this to help you out.
Most bubbles are caused by paint going on to thick.
