Had a bit of a nightmare painting the first side.Basicly when i sprayed the second red coat,I was still seeing the black come thru.I applied a 3rd coat and the same black coming thru.The red paint seemed to be having no real effect.I sprayed what I hoped would be the final coat and applied it a bit too thick as I wanted the black gone. This messed with my drying time estimate.I left it half an hour,but got into some difficulties peeling off the stencil.One part near the rocket engines pulled up and folded over,I hadent even seen it happening as I didnt have my glasses on :banghead: and was struggling having only 2 hands. The paint was a little more than tacky,and when any painted parts of the stencil edge doubled back on themself I was finding it tricky : Anyway when I finally got the stencil removed,I waited a day and washed the side down with soapy water to remove the stencil residue.It really wasent as bad as Id thought.A slight touch up job left me happy with this side. |

The second side has been much better given my experience now.The first coat of red emptied the can.I bought the same brand same colour.Shaked the can equally long,and under the exact same conditions the second coat gave me total perfect coverage.No black showing after 1 light coat.I can only assume the first can had a fault :dunno Can that be it ???? What Id learnt from my first ordeal removing the stencil was to not try and remove it all in one piece.When I got to a point where the paint line doubled back on itself,I made a cut with an exacto and came back to that part. Also as the paint was thinner and 30 minutes drying had left the paint easy to peel with no strings: Im really happy with the sharpness of the lines.One slight lift that will be an easy fix.The white stuff you can see on the black is the adhesive from the stencil,Ill wash that off tomorrow. Im thinking Ill be rolling a clear coat over this for protection but not decided yet. |
