been confusing of late. I have posted but not gotten a reply I can use. I have searched and it is all over the place in terms of info. I am confused. I will post some questions about metallizer and please, someone who has done it and done it successfully, please answer.
I have the Academy F86.
I bought modelmaster aluminum buff or whatever it is called.
I have put the wiings and fuselage together and am ready to paint. I have a few gaps to fill.
I spray painted flat black on the interior walls as suggested on the board. It has gotten some flat black on the outer surface of the fuselage. Don't know if that gritty touch is a problem. I have never used metallizer before.
Do I prime with a gloss black or anything, or do I just wash the plastic and spray the aluminum on it? Will the grainy flat black, not much but some, be a problem?
How many coats? How do you buff, just a clean soft rag?
Is there any problems if I fill gaps and sand?
After it is done, coat with future before decals?
Then I purchased an overcoat for metallizers, I assume that is what you use.
I hope someone can answer these and there is concensus. I really want to finish this one.
