Why didn't my gloss coat turn out ?
After spraying a base color coat of enammel and waiting for it to dry i then proceeded with building up several thin coats of tamiya acrylic clear. the problem was that it never became shiny and appeared kind of course as if the paint was to thick. I'm sure all my basics were right( and i know what i'm doing ) such as Properly mixed paint , distance of the airbrush to subject , Pressure setting , correct thinner ratio etc. So i'm not sure what happened
the only thing i can think of is that my enamel coat wasn't cured fully and it somehow reacted witht he gloss. Usually i wait over night ( and i've never had a problem with this ) but i'm sure i left it a few days in between. Also ,i soak my aztek nozzels in lacquer thinner so perhaps there was some residue left in the nozzel that somehow reacted but i sprayed water through ti to clean it out. Is it possible to get a bad tin of paint ????? I look forward to hearing your thoughts , Thanks.
