Looking forward to more updates as I get ready to build my first model in almost 30 years. I already anticipate paint problems!

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

I hope it works out for you!! Not sure what happened with this coat of paint, but I'm confident a quick sand and quick shit of paint will do the trick

[@theintake8961]

Ouch! Possibly the humidity in the Midwest. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress 😎👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

It was warmer today, was really hoping that spray was gonna be it for the paint. But I'm sure a little sanding and another coat of paint and we should be good.....I hope

[@KHModelWorks]

Ouch! that is unfortunate, but it sounds like you have it under control. Nice color .. I remember seeing one around in the 90s which was a similar color.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks, little sanding over the weekend and it looks like I have it pretty well covered, just needs ... Hopefully... One more coat of paint. I thought the color looked pretty good too, just has that right feel to me

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

That's a great color. You'll get the paint fixed up and it'll look great

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks! I thought the color was looking pretty cool on the car, little sanding and one more good spray and I'm sure she'll be ready to go

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Bummer. Hope sandinding works. I'll be watching

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

So far it looks like a quick sanding is working, updates soon!!

[@brianlewis6926]

I had that same thing happened to me I was thinking I was to close or the paint was old but was not sure. I hate it when it does that.
I hope you get it figured out,

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Looking back I may have put it on too thick but who knows, could be any number of things

[@Reds_Scrapyard]

I feel your pain, brother. I swear it seems like some of my stuff spends more time in the pond than on the bench

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Sometimes a paint job gets a lot of sanding....this one gonna be one of them

[@DreamBigBuildSmall]

Great color, hopefully you can get it worked out.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thank you! Was liking the color too. I'm sure I can get this all sanded off and a good repaint!!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I typically use rustoleum as well, but I try and avoid the 2x because it spits out 2x more paint than a standard spray can. Best of luck 👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

I've never had too many issues with the 2x, this is the first major Mishap so far. But so far it looks like a light sanding is doing the trick!!

[@ramblers69]

Other than the front, it's looking nice Chris

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Thanks, was liking the color too, I think it's a good fit for the car. I'm sure a good sanding and another quick cart of paint and it'll be good as new!!

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Man, I hate it when that happens! Hopefully you can get it smoothed out!

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Hoping a little sanding and quick shit of paint will do the trick

[@felixculpa6240]

witaf? I'm convinced there is some voodoo element to painting. It's like a dark art sometimes lol

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Lol. Sometimes good luck

[@smithgroove945]

Luckily rest of the car seems ok. Nice Firebird.

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Rest of the build came out perfect, I'm just waiting on the body now. But I'm sure it'll be good once I clean her up

[@TI4438]

Oh hell naw!

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Lol. Just a minor annoyance, I'm sure I got this....I hope
