Yes I used 1/3 (33%) thinner instead of 1/2. Now it's almost impossible to scratch it off

So this is the second model this has happened to. I clean the parts with alcohol spray it with Mr surface (mixed 50:50 with leveling thinner) and the primer just scratches off with little effort. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? This has gotten to the point that I am afraid to prime my kit. Also what can I use to get rid of the primer without scratching it all off?

Hi I am currently working on my 1/350 K'tinga and glued all the LED's in with super glue I may have used a lot but I don't care because it's on the inside. But it did leave this white stuff around the glued area. So how do I prevent this because I want to glue my photo etch after the paint is on. And the last thing I want is that white stuff on there.

Wait it is from a automotive brand but they have a selection of real car paint and a selection of spray paint that can also be used in plastic and many people in the Netherlands use it for models so I hope it will come loose

I will have to try it but the Dettol isn't available at my store so I have to order it online

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Automotive paint is great and cheap for really big projects but it's hard to remove

Lol Vallejo primer is acrylic I think and so is the automotive paint I used so I think I'm good I'll try it tomorrow

Yeah I need to strip it because after the hair I made it messy as hell Will the mr musle remove primer?

Yeah but the paint is thick + type 1/350 uss enterprise refit and you will that is is way to big to sand

So a cat hair landed on my wet paint of my 1/350 uss enterprise refit saucer And I stressed so things went downhill from there So I have to remove the Vallejo primer and automotive paint. So does anyone know how to do this without harming the plastic because a replacement part is really expensive

Weird

So it cut it out of the sprue and a thin piece at the back crazed and fell off Any way to fix this?

So I bought a automotive high gloss white for my base color on my 1:350 USS Enterprise refit and it looks really good on my test sample but my question is: can you topcoat a semi finish over a high gloss surface to seal the decals. Or will the top coat just flake off because it's on high gloss? The primer is acrylic, the automotive paint is acrylic and the topcoat will be acrylic.

Yes thanks Mike I guess I will order the pre cut masking tape for the windows on this model because I am to lazy to hand cut 70 windows or so 🤣
