                        Hi all started this one but I am having all sorts of problems with the paint










                        Never had this problem before still stripped it all off and tried again







                        still not happy with it there must be a reaction with the plastic or something, might try barrier  coat or something.

                        are you using rattle can? looks like you may be spraying too close or your getting to much moisture (possibly from humidity) along with the paint.

                        The primer is from a rattle can but is decanted into my ab and the enamel is from a Humbrol tinlet thinned with white spirit to go through the ab. Thanks for looking

                        it looks like fish-eyes. it's caused by grease, mold-release, oil, fingerprints or other contaminates on the surface. it needs to be thoroughly washed before primer. sanding can help sometimes too. (gives the surface some bite for the paint).
