paint chipping so i have painted 2 bodies now that have chipped and the paint has cracked like hell. idk what im doing wrong. i have used lexan body paint. i did small coats. i cleaned the body before i painted them with water and soap and dried them out with a paper towel. i have done everything i can think of right. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas to why its doing that. thanks |
From what you have written it sounds like the paint my be too thick. I find doing fine layers maybe about 3 coats max works for me! When I started out I found this a good guide to help get started on the right foot ;) http://www.rctech.net/articles/paint...ntedmyst.shtml |
ya i was wondering if maybe that was the case. i did one body with a airbrush and one with a rattle can. but i think your right it probably was kinda thick. |
Scrub the inside of the body with a scotchbrite pad while washing it with dish soap. And don't use too much paint. |
If your using fluorescent paint and it is applied to thick or its not backed buy a non fluorescent color usually white it can chip. :-( |
ok i will try all of those ideas. i think maybe i did use a little bit to much paint. i used fluorescent orange and blue and backed them with white. but i will try another one with not as much paint and less coats and see what happens |

This is a good tip and its what I also do, but do not wash the windows. I use the rough part of a new dish washing sponge and light strokes. You just want to rough up the surface a bit to get good adheartion. |
ok i will try that. i guess i have to get another body and try it again haha."thumbsup" |
What if after 3 coats the paint is still transparent? Is that what the white backing is for? Also how long should you wait in between coats. I have noticed with watching on youtube alot of people airbrush a body without even stopping to let layers dry. |
