Hi all. I just woke up to check on my paintjob that dried overnight. I put the drying body piece inside a closed drying container to keep the dust out. I lined the bottom with some papert towels to keep it from sticking to the paint. Unfortunately, I was shocked to see that parts of the paper towel stuck onto the body. I removed it, and it lookes like rough spots that have been raised to the surface, so it pops out when you touch it. The spots were just small specks, but very noticable.
I immediately grabbed onto some 6000 grit to sand the small rough areas, to make it smooth. It looked smooth enough, so I painted it again with TS-30 Silver leaf. Unfortunately, I realized that I painted too thick with the rattlecan.
I tried to wipe the laquer off with a paper towel, but then it dried pretty quickly, and the lines are there, and it looks worse.
My guess is to wait for around 6 hours to let the paint dry, and wetsand the very ugly layer of paint until it gets to the point where it becomes smooth again, then add 2 light coats of rattle can paint (ts-30).
rookie mistake
Also, I would like to ask, How do you prevent dust from going to the model? My guess is to place it inside a box, but then I have to separate the painting stand of the car model in order to let the part fit, but then I have to be extremely careful not to touch the paint. Do I just leave the model to dry in my spraying booth?
I feel like I should sand the paint and start all over again. How do you do this correctly?
