It looks almost ike too thin a base metallic coat and too heavy a clear coat. It looks like the clear coat has partially re-liquefied the metallic coat and caused the swirl-like effects. I suspect an acrylic (non-aerosol)  clear coat would not have caused this effect.. I have observed something similar when applying clear acrylic over metallic acrylic paints.

should I strip it all down....or spray over again with the aluminum and seal again....I m afraid of too many coats too..

Carlos

Carlos,

I'd say spray again.

After a dry time of 48 hrs. and a scrub with a scotch brite. Brown or finner.

Did you prime beforehand and with what?

In any event  don't strip, and all progressive coats keep as thin as possible.

Your coat wallered or could not find a place to stick. all is not lost.

Dr

Just build it (and post pics when youre done)

Instead of using Kleenex, which is made here in my home town, use coffee filters instead. They are cheap and lint free.

Contamination either on the surface or something from a previous use of your airbrush. Water maybe? How's your moisture trap looking? Drained your tank lately?

 

Which reminds me, I need to drain mine, got some painting to do later this evening.Travel
