George Norman Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi Lads, Not a great start to 2020, sitting on the S.O.D for ages and I decided to hell with it lets finish the buggar and this happens ,so many times now I I am at the point of just making stuff that does not need masking or has just one colour. How am I gonna fix this besides flinging it at the wall? Masking peeled off top and the tail planes coats when removed post paint drying. Xtra colour was used over holts Grey primer. Since I moved out to my Porta cabin I think the Damp air affects the paint grab. I dunno. Never happened in the house when I had me own room. probably 20 years before the eldest pisses off to her own gaf so I should get me room back or build a bricks and mortor job. 604_0484 by Georgeconna32, on Flickr 604_0483 by Georgeconna32, on Flickr 604_0485 by Georgeconna32, on Flic cheers g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Animal Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Interesting that its only the DE. I’d remask and touch it up. All is not lost. Summon your British phlegm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Did the paint shear off all the way down to the plastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I’ve had similar problems in the past but found sealing with Klear before masking prevents peel so that’s what I do now religiously. Hope you get it sorted as it looks superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-1980 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Just a suggestion, but perhaps painting some aluminum paint over the peeled areas and softening the edges with dabbing with a sponge, could be some very effective weathering and paint stripping through an arduous life time of shooting down zee Germans?
