When I paint, and masking areas, I lately have been getting ridges on my models. I put enough paint on there so that it looks wet. I've mostly been using rattle cans. I try to hold the can no less than 6" from the model. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? Should I use very light coats and build the thinkness up with more sessions on the can? I try to get 2 or 3 sprays to finish it. 1st coat a dust coat, 2nd coat to make it wet, and 3rd to completely cover the model.
I'm working on a 747-400 with flaps extended, and it's going to be half white (Kalitta Air Cargo since my dad is a 747 pilot for them) and half cathay pacific cargo with a polished aluminum effect. I'd like to get this right so I don't mess up the paint job. I'll be using bare metal foil on the half for the Cathay Pacific Cargo.
