screwed up a good paintjob that i was really liking....

lessons learned:

prime (i even had the primer, too lazy to put it on such a small bait)

wait longer before taping

live and learn (oh well, i get to sand this off and re-do it; more practice )

that sucks man.  Nice paint too.

thanks.

but its no biggie. just more practice, and lessons learned!

i'm currently repainting it. waiting on the metallic silver to dry as i type this.

And it was looking so nice, oh well, you'll get it next time

repaint's done, looks just as good as the original

Looks good, the blue along the back looks great.

thanks M and M.

i'll get pics up when i can get around to clearing the new paint.

Are you using water based paints?

If so, just heat set and forget about waiting for it to dry. Many thing coats are better than thick ones.

I like it.

yep, using waterbased acrylic Wildlife Colors. i did heat set my repaint of this.

so do you heat set in between coats or just after the entire thing is painted?

I heat set every coat of createx I put on, I have had no problems yet!

Paint the spot red so it looks like a real wound!

fixed

Looks really good Dave!

Now I want to see some teeth marks on it!

I heatset every coat except for the finest of dustings.
