Runs, Runs, Runs

Or strip and start over, depends where you are at in the process.

You haven't seen runs til you put them 6 inches apart the full length of a 28 foot motorhome, and for half the height of one side.  Looked like someone turned the ocean vertical

Yep, I agree

I had some bad runs on a 1:32 scale F-80, in gloss black getting ready for Alclad.  Gloss paint runs more readily than flat.  The runs were so bad I had to go all the way down to wet sanding with 320 grit, whereas other minor flaws in finish succommed to 600.

I thought this was going to be a thread about.......diarrhea. 

 LOL!

BTW, I consider getting a good gloss paint job an exercise in brinkmanship.  You must put down a wet final coat.  The way I put it is, keep putting it on until just a moment before it runs.  How do you know before it runs?  Only way is experience.  I sanded out a lot of runs learning what it looks like at that point, and still occasionally miss it.  A good repositional lamp is essential.  Keep holding the model so that the surface you are painting makes a mirror reflection of the lamp- the brightness of that reflection is the main clue.  Even doing flats, seeing that reflection helps getting a good finish.  The flat will still have a reflective gloss when it is wet.
