Firefox Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Sand the all the surfaces (use 600 or 800) before spraying paint. Spray very thin coat of paint each time and wait for it to dry thouroughly after each coat. Finally with a few thin coat of clear spray. That should solve your problem. But frequent transformation will inevitable scratch some of the paint of... Just that sanding part is very important, if you got every corner sanded, the chance of paint chipping off will be greatly reduced. I'd tried it before. Good luck! Quote
Capt. Kraimer Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Robotech...it started it all for me, but since i have watched the actual Macross series i think the characters were better. That's just me though. Capt. Kraimer out. Quote
