Spray your body with a matt black just a very very light coat, then sand over it lightly with fine sand paper. If you get spots of black staying while areas disappear and you're sanding evenly then you have an uneven surface. spray some spray putty into the lower areas and then repeat the process when it's dried. You want to have perfectly straight/curved surfaces especially for darker paints. If you're painting white/light colours it's not as important. It WILL show on a dark paint so if you want it to look good spend a couple of days on prepping it. When you spray your paint, especialy on the roof you'll get some bits on the area furthest away from you which will be like tiny little balls because the paint will dry before it hits your roof. With these, just use almost a pure thinners spray and just spray over them really quickly. It will disolve them and make your paintjob seem smoother. Otherwise you'll have to sand them back and trust me you don't want to do that. You WILL need to use a clear coat otherwise you'll just end up with a matt finish on your paint. Use a clear coat of the same brand as the paint you're using to make sure you don't get incompatible chemicals fucking up your paint job. If I think of anything else I'll post it here. Maybe some painting gurus could add their insight here and we could compile a toymods "learn to spray" manual? [Updated on: Thu, 18 September 2003 13:25] [Report message to a moderator]
