Monogram Ice T - how to ruin a paint job

[Lee Croden]

I am moving along nicely on a build of the Fantastic Ice T.....Base coat of light blue 2 days ago......nice. Then last night, taped off the pattern and sprayed a very light coat of darker blue, it dried instantly. Unmasked the body.....wow looks cool.

Then within an hour i applied the decals....again, nice. went on well.....looks great.

Now, at this point i should have stopped and left it over night, but nooooooo........impatience stepped in. What will it look like cleared? I ask myself......the decals look dry??? no harm.

So.....on went the clear....bugger

The clear hgas run like a sprinter and the decals have wrinkled!!!!!

Lesson learned. I will finish it and learn the hard way

You muppet! It was looking so cool as well. Just sand it back and respay it then, I wanna see it finished.

It's not unknown for decals to settle down once they've wrinkled but that does depend on how bad a wrinkle you've got, and why they wrinkled in the first place!

Might be time for a trip to the stripping fluid!

[Lee Croden]

ok.....the bad paint came off in the brake fluid...and has now been repainted.

Off the bench soon!!!!!!

Nice one, Lee. Now don't drop it!
