Decals are always fun for me, I enjoy that part of the hobby. Not sure what happened to the paint this time, as of right now it looks like I was able to save it, I'm letting it dry as we speak
Thanks, David! I did save the Camaro, the firebird from the previous video looks ok, not great but at this point it'll be what it is I guess. Little disappointing
Dupli Color is lacquer based. 1 You gotta primer first. I've had it eat / wrinkle the plastic before. 2 Lacquer will always dry flat. 3 That being said you GOTTA clear over it. Hope that helps.
I've never had issues with dulpicolor before, most of the kits I've done have been with them. I always primer everything before I begin. I got lucky with the Camaro, looks like I was able to save it, I should have a new video up in couple days talking about it
I had that happen with my Camaro and my Corvette using Duplicolor, it came out of the can flat. I wet sanded it and then clear coated it, and the gloss and color came back. So try clear coating it and see what happens!
Dulpicolor always has been good to me, maybe just some bad luck? I ended up sanding and reprimered it, so far it looks like I saved it, gonna let sit couple of days...
Aww man! I feel your pain. With 2 different cans, it's hard to say. You said it was an older can, is it possible it froze over the winter? It's hard to say if a coat of clear will save it
Not exactly sure what's going on. Two cars in a row I've had paint issues. But, as of right now it looks like this one was saved, I'll do a video in couple days after it dries up
Paint and decals are always my two biggest worries when building a model. Maybe try stripping it and starting over with a fresh can of paint.

That looks like a wrap treatment. My guess is the humidity but you would feel it I think.
Mid 70s today, low humidity this morning, not sure what happened this time. I just need to reset myself and take my time
Hope you get the body going on the paint job Chris, have fun with the warmer weather.😊

Bummer Chris
Two cars in a row with bad paint jobs. Need to calm down for a second and reset myself
Ughhh paint woes. Time to go back to tried and true Tamiya.
Love me some Tamiya paint! Was trying to clear out some older paints, guess that was a bad idea
Damn, bro!
Two cars in a row, kinda aggravating. But I was able to save this one, I'll have a video later in the week on it

That sucks maybe a bad primer.

That sucks with the paint
What ticks me off is that this is two models in a row that this happened with. Just gotta reset
