Airbrushed Humbrol Enamel for the first time and screwed up the base coat. The surfaced looks flocked (rough). I put about 4 or 5 drops of paint in my airbrush cup and 2 drops of lacquer thinner. Noticed the atomization of the spray was splattery. Added another drop of lacquer thinner with no improvement. Repeated with another drop, and still the same results. Was wondering if lacquer thinner might not be compatible with Humbrol, or perhaps it's an air-pressure / paint mixture problem. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, would like to strip the paint and start over. Anyone know a good paint stripper that will remove the paint with little scrubbing? Would like to avoid scrubbing due to the delicate PE pieces.
