Not good! I have no experience using modelflex. Testors seems to take longer drying......Better luck on the next session Mike!   

[Jerry]

Hope you get it sorted out Mike.

Mike,

Sorry to hear of the bad paint issue. I too have no experience with Modelflex paints.

Hope it can be redone.

Hi Mike.  That's not good news about the paint issue.  Don't know that brand, but seems you do.
Maybe just a bad lot.  I'm sure you'll make it right.

Howdy folks,

Rick, Curt, Ron, Philip, Jerry, TomACL, and Rob thank you for your encouraging comments and support.

Here is a photo of the second coat sprayed the day before yesterday.  I'll try a finish coat tomorrow.



You can see the splotchy look.  I've used Model Flex for years and never had this problem.  I think I may have sprayed the color on without letting the primer cure enough.  I sprayed after 24 hours and it might have been better to have waited 48.  Always learning.

Have fun,
mike

Mike, Howdy,

It doesn't look as bad as I imagined. Another possibility is you got a bad bottle of paint.

Keep having fun my friend.

Possibly damp air?

[Rick]

Mike, I don't think it looks that bad either.
You might leave it as is and then when you weather it, it will look like areas are fade.
Just a thought.

[Jerry]

I agree with them Mike it doesn't look that bad and weathering might be the trick!

Jerry

[Larry C]

Mike I agree with the others and like Rick's suggestion.

Hey Mike-it kinda looks like what the real thing looks like-right before it starts to show that it needs some serious attention to the paint.  I think the right weathering could show off one of those "just cover up the bad spots" remedies we all have seen in so many (especially narrow gauge) photos of rolling stock......(when no one was looking).  Just a thought, but I like the way it looks........
