Ugh... Ooops... advice?

Post by drewid142 »

OK... I broke the cardinal rule and got totally dinged for it...

Working on objet masters... thoroghly cleaned.. I hit them with Tamiya Suurface primer and sanded a few times... then... here's where I think I goofed... I hit it with Testors Gloss Coat Grey... just trying to give it a nice shiney suurface... that was 10 days ago and the parts are still sticky.

Advice? Soaking to remove the paint?

Thanks in advance for chiming in!

Easy Off Oven Cleaner. A quick spritz, let sit 20 minutes, lightly scrub with old toothbrush (or your sister's) under warm running water. Rinse, repeat as needed. Good for removing paint from ALL materials. Will not harm plastic or even clear parts.

I know that's not what the instructions say, but the kit's wrong anyway.

funny... I grabbed the good primer for working on my masters... but only needed to gloss coat thes three little bits... so I made a quick mistake... going with cheaper can of gloss for such a small job...

OOOOOPS

I use Walmart's own brand of gray primer - ColorSmart, I think. It sells out fast every time it comes in though so you may have to check back a few times before you figure out their shipping schedule.
