[QUOTE="urumomo, post: 259963, member: 13239"] [I]you restored my confidence. [/I] LOL [I]Is this something that takes a huge learning curve ?[/I] Not necessarily huge , like everything else it just requires some practice / experimentation . I prefer correcting the paint application issue over sanding out the problem -- although you will need to do that if you have now painted the actual model . Are you practicing on scrap ? or is this orange peel now on the kit ? You might be applying too much paint at once ,, or , if not that , Try slightly more thinner and slightly higher air pressure . go in short steps with the thinner and air pressure increase . Proper atomization of the paint is necessary to avoid the orange peel . Avoid heavy coats . Multiple , lighter coats of paint , with enough dry time between coats . [/QUOTE]
