to say Hi and see how everyone is doing? I've been busy working from home and working on rockets when I can? It seems I'm more busy painting my friend's RC planes then my own rockets. Looking to buying another pinball machine soon. Just haven't found the right price. It seems working on rockets, playing pinball and walking my dog has kept my sanity.
My PML Spitfire kit is not being cooperative. It's fighting me on the orange and black paint scheme. Paint went on bad so did the clear. Had issues sanding the clear and the paint. Un even sanding lead to blotches on the surface even with a sanding sponge.
I'm done. Think I will repaint the standard red and silver color scheme and start over. Wish me luck! I'll need it. Ugh the dreaded sanding again and again! Oh well not going to be launching for awhile. I might take a couple weeks off from work so I can just knock it out.
Hey do most of sand all the way down when repainting or do you just wet sand the finish with say 600 to ruff it up and primer and paint?
