Re: classic colours mustang GT- WIP soundblaster
Cool, are you gonna use the GT 350H decals ?
You might even be able to use the optional window covers that come with this kit(not shown on the box).
For those that don't know, the GT 350H was a Hertz rental car exclusive paint scheme/GT package back in the '60's when they actually rented out muscle cars like this.
I'm spray painting right now, going against everything I know about spray painting, the results are not fabulous so far.
I usually wait for a hot and dry June-Sep afternoon. and don't go near a spray can in between.

Re: classic colours mustang GT- WIP soundblaster
i get the spiderweb effect or those holes and bubbles. even after cleaning it does that. i believe its the temp/humidity. i'm scared to paint over anything at the moment after getting the same results with a clean unit. at first i thought it was the white paint but it did the same sh/t with black. sigh.
i cleaned, i lightly sanded, still same effect. bubbles if not the spiderweb.
i used those decals for my deadend. now i wish had more... lol

Re: classic colours mustang GT- WIP soundblaster
Unfortunately the bubbles/holes seem to reappear every time you paint over that area unless most/all of the paint is removed (chemically or intense sanding).
You can also try leaving the spray can in a container of hot water for 10 minutes before spraying - store your paint cans in a warm room.

Re: classic colours mustang GT- WIP soundblaster
Sorry man, AFAIK, all my gundam building friends just don't airbrush or paint in Winter, it's really bad conditions
I wouldn't do it unless you paint indoors, which needs very good ventilation.
I dont know if you airbrush or handbrush though.

It could, I've been spraying outside then bringing pieces back inside - piece by piece.
Paint finish isn't as smooth as it could be and I can tell it's gonna need a week or 2 to fully dry.
Humidity and cold temp. are your spray painting projects enemy ! -

Re: classic colours mustang GT- WIP soundblaster
i found a way but it involves spraying on your mat or newspaper first. try it out first on that surface, if you get a glistening smooth coat. you get the same on your target piece. you have to verify the quality of the spray each time you want to spray another piece.
make sure you have lots of sand paper. multi grit of course. sigh. its double the work.
