Paint Tips & Tidbits!
« on: May 04, 2014, 07:13:20 PM »
No secret, I'm really using rattlecans, RRC (Rusty Rattle Can), on the SKYFALL 007.

No adjustments and no control, press and what you get is what you get, all paint.  LL~

There may or may not be the need for repairs or tuch-ups along the way?  A perfect world? n~

I've had fixes to make, a few.

Simple bleeding under tape.

Not to comon but it sometimes happens when tape lifts a tad and you're not wearing glasses.

The fix is easy, just place tape on both sides of the bleed and apply a bit more paint. Well, this does work, but not using an airbrush, the RRC paint will get in places not wanted. That fix? Remask a good area. OR!...

Just apply two pieces of tape then sand the bleed color away using 600.  1000 if you want it to take all night.

This fix is easy and I've used it a bunch of times.

You can polish 600 or, in my case, a coat of clear will do the trick. The clear, no, not RRC.  ;D

This thread could be used for "Tips & Tidbits" with finishing and paint.

You got a tip?  LL~ LL~ LL~

  This is a shameful violation of rule #6 as posted in the General Forum Rules. And you quite often violate it.

      General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all Forum categories.

1. All members are to be polite while posting. Any type of rudeness will not be tolerated. Members who are intentionally rude or disruptive may be banned without warning.
2. Your account is yours alone.  You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account could be deleted.
3. Please be thoughtful of your post. Use the search function of this site to see if your your topic has already been discussed. This saves everyone time. If a user appears to be "SPAMMING" members, it could lead to a warning and/or may be banned without warning.
4. You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
5. Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. If members notes an issue which violites something in this policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the Moderator Team. Please use the “Report to Moderator ” feature to report posts. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be banned.
6. You may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.
7. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning and the post removed.
8. Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, plans, ect. These types of post will be deleted.
9. The moderators / Administrators, reserve the right to edit, remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not user.
10. Finally; any abuse towards our moderators / Administrators in any form, may result in your account being banned.

Fine print: SEE RULE #1
The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or deletion of your account.

Should also  be a rule against starting multiple threads that pertain to the same thing in order to just get attention.

Charles,
I've used this approach myself and it does work. Also used the clear dope over the tape trick. For me when the edge bleeds its usually that I didn't get the surface degreased all the way or I put to heavy a coat for the first coat.

Best,    DennisT

Dennis,

Thanks for the reply.

Tape lifted a tad in a few areas, could have been for what you mentioned.

Dennis, I was looking over the Mig-3 Thread, thinking of going electric with it also, you were generous with many replies there, thank you for that.
