you should have done your cutting and trimming before painting. also its always a good idea to let the paint cure for a couple of hours before you start mounting. also id highly recomend against using the heat lamp unless you want to risk melting or warping the body |

Did you clean the body with soapy water before you painted?

How thick did you lay the paint down? That can make a big difference in how long it will take to cure (not dry but cure)... Several very light coats is way better than one or two heavy coats... Proper surface preparation is a must as well. |

i did like they sudjest warm soapy water then cleaned with there cleaning solution. i did 3 light coats of the spaztix and waited about 20 mins between coats because it was kinda cold then hit it with 2 coats of black and then a coat of silver for my decal. i let it dry over night and it was fine. i guess it felt dry but wasnt truely dry so its my own fault. but other then that it came out great! except for the couple finger spots i left lol. the colors really unique and ill have to post up pics but i dont think it will do the color justice.
