At the very least, you MUST wash the nosecone with warm water & soap to get rid of the release agent... And sanding with 200-320 would (have) help(ed) as well. I think you will have much better results then.

HTH,
Fisheye is the most prevalent defect resulting form washing plastic parts in this manor. Instead use plan old rubbing alcohol to remove all trace of release agent, our nasty oily finger prints and other unwanted surface contaminants before we paint. Styrene nose cones with no surface seams or detail might get away with washing but don't try it with any plastic part the has recesses, you'll never get the soap out. Remember the old Zest commercials where they took a pair of glasses, dipped one lens in a soap solution, and dipped the other lens in a solution of Zest and water? The soap side was filmy, but the Zest side was clear. Zest was (is?) a detergent-based product. For cleaning nosecones, a strong and clean rinsing detergent like Dawn diswashing liquid might do the trick. I'd still do the alcohol thing afterward though, so it might not gain you anything unless the nose was noticibly oily or something. We can get 91% isopropal (rubbing) alcohol at the supermarket (HEB) here. It's not so wet, so it dries faster and works quicker than the 50% or even 70% stuff.Originally posted by Micromeister

Please don't wash your plastic model or styrene plastic parts with soap and water. Soap leaves as much residue as you think you're removing
Hope this helps
yes the fusion is for plastic models and rc boats.The paint itelf has wonderful colors and looks great BUT it peels easily. So if you do use this paint make sure to prep anything you paint and make sure you do multiple coats and clear coats. its the only way this paint will do what its supposed to do. If you spraypaint id advise you to buy some of that industrial paint at a local paint store. Its REALLY fast drying and its great for high speeds and temps runs about $6 for a big can that can paint up to 60 feet.
tryusing some paint remover or paint thinner. If its to strong dilute it woth a lil water and itll bring the paint right off.
And fireworks says dont hold in hand while lighting fuses.... Ive used the paint many different ways and ive seen many different finishes from it with and without clearcoat i was just sharing my knowledge.
