Interesting it went to the plastic. I gloss coated my Tamiya paints with Future on my Stuka, then hairsprayed, then Tamiya white, then chipped. No issues.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

The Future protedcted the undercoat, Andy.

 

[Crimea_River]

Just finished reading about gloss coating. I may have let the paint dry too long as well; dry to the touch instead of an hour

Lovely work so far George!

Spritzed the primer on using Tamiya X7 Red and XF64 Red Brown. Unfortunately I ran out of red brown and the next trip south is in a week so Imma gonna live with it. There won't be this much chipping being a watercraft but I want to make sure I'm covered

Geo. Do you need some Red Brown? I can send you one.

Thank you, Jesse. I won't need any for a while now. On top of three appointments next week I need to restock a lot of paint. And now we come to one of the reasons I built the beaching trolley first. The secondary struts for the main float were a bit of a loose fit so I needed to make sure that they would line up with the two holes in the wings; you can just make out an attachment point at the rear of the wing

That looks pretty cool as is.

Well.....if this isn't a swift kick in the nads. Put a coat of Future on yesterday morning and a half hour ago put a thin coat of hairspray over the painted area. Went down 10 minutes ago and was floored; through the Future and paint down to plastic. Time to step back and reassess my life for a few years

​

Actually, I'm going to see what I have that removes all three layers plus a layer of tears. If not, I paint over everything and use Vallejo. Its odd as the hairspray never reacted during my test above

 

[Wurger]

Strange indeed. But I believe you can mange to fix it.

 

[talbot]

ouch

hopefully easy to recover!

 

[SaparotRob]

All hail the once and Future king.

 

[fubar57]

ouch

hopefully easy to recover!

If lady products destroyed it, lady products can fix it

​

Once I removed what paint I could, I rinsed it under water for a bit to remove any nail polish remover on the plastic. I'll let this sit over night

That's for paraphrasing one of my favorite lines from science fiction.

Take 2. Different paint, almost Hinomaru colour without the mix. Very good coverage with a brush, way better than Tamiya. I'll let it set and then gloss

 

[Crimea_River]

So weird. That's never happened to me but glad you got it sorted. You got lucky but nail polish remover, if left on plastic too long, will make it gummy.
