Correct rough paint finish

That might work, Future is self levelling so you should end up with a pretty smooth finish.

I'm presuming you're using acrylics?

To prevent this problem in the future, make sure you drop the psi to the lowest your airbrush can use and get right up close to the model 1-2" away. This will help keep the paint from drying before it hits the model.

Since you're already using a retarder, try a bit more in the mix. Also, you can try lowering the amount of thinner. Most acrylic thinners use alcohol with exacerbates the problem.

Actually I'm using oil based paints.  White Ensign Models specifically.  I'll give it a go and report back on how it works out.

Thanks!

Greetings,

Just following up on this repair.  I was able to successfully repair the rough finish and not damage the model.  Here's what i ended up doing...

1. First I wet sanded the areas that I could with a fine sanding stick.
2. I then brush coated on 3 thin coats of future.
3. Next I repainted the area with the base color carefully masking off the cables that were in place.  I did this with a post it and just blocked the spray as I painted.  YES! 
   The paint looked and felt nice and smooth
4. The final test was to give it a clear flat coat and viola!  It came out perfect.  No more rough finish in those hard to get to spots. 

I don't know how this would work in other situations but in this case it resolved my problem perfectly.

I'll post some photos soon. 

Thanks/Dave
