Hello all.

I was airbrushing tonight and I think overwhelmed myself. It was my 1st German 3 colour scheme and 1st time using a new type of paint (Vallejo model air), and unfortunately I screwed up.

In hindsight I should have bought a cheapy model to practice painting on instead off doing it on one I've invested a couple months in.

Anyways in about 2 separate locations I've got a slight pool of paint. I think If I try to paint over it it's just going to get worst. Should I get fine sand paper or rubbing compound and try to get rid of it. Or should I just not worry because after the wash and weathering it most likely won't be noticeable?

Any advice will be appreciated,


Jeff

i would wet sand down to the plastic with very fine sandpaper then re shoot the base color and then camo

If you build up several light coats, it should remove the pooling effect. I have done this several times with both Tamiya and MM paints.

Sand it back, and respray, after you clear coat and weather you won't know the difference

Jeff,

Since Vallejo paints are acrylics, use some Q-tips and cotton balls soaked in Windex to remove the paint and start over.

I've done it a couple of times to remove complete camouflage paint jobs I wasn't happy with, and would definitely try it before sanding.

Good luck!

I agree with Rich if not windex hot water and q-tip

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

If there's a next time (hopefully not) I'll try the q-tip & windex/hot water trick, but unfortunately it had dried by the time I found the time to fix it. I hit the puddles with 2000 grit sandpaper till it was flush, resprayed the area and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Thanks again

Jeff
