Wet paint after 48 hours

[RyanRumkee]

So I painted my Panther on Friday at 2pm, almost 48 hours ago! Still wet!

Friday night around 8pm I painted some other bits for a different model, a different paint. Dry....

Used the same techniques on both, automotive primer, coat of paint, and then beside a radiator to dry, I've put all the bits I painted in a box lid so they are altogether.

I've come to the conclusion that the paint I used for Panther, 93, is the paint that isn't drying,

But paint 159 is dried.

Any advice? Should I blow dry it? Put another coat on?

Are you using acrylic or enamel?

[RyanRumkee]

Humbrol enamel

Bang goes my theory - I recently experienced slow drying times when spraying in damp conditions, but that was with acrylics. Sorry I can't more help

Humbrol enamel

I have had this happen with Humbrol enamels ..even after two weeks didn't dry so had to remove it.

When I've had this problem I've overcoated the non or slow drying paint with a coat of known good drying paint. Not too heavy a coat but well thinned. It sort of mixes with the non/slow one and encourages it to dry.

I have had this problem quite a lot with humrol and revell enamels namely the latters no9 anthracite black which i use for painting tyres; Because i am only useing a small amount , now when i use it I dont stir the pot but take a lump out of the bottom of the tin with a toothpic and thin it well.

Being no expert on the matter i have got a feeling that different pigments react differently with the dryers.

Here in France the DIY stores sell a product called Siccatif which is a paint dryer, to be on the safe side i now add a drop or 2 of that to the mix.
