I found something better to power the GT40 than some marker pens and some plumbing spares.

Pink is for Cadillacs. ;)

Black is the traditional Ford colour ("Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." Henry Ford, 1863-1947), or blue. 8)


 ........  or beige. :o

Hi all, so what happened here.

Both parts were painted at the same time, with the same primer and the same top coat, I decided to give them a second coat and this happened

Bugger! :o

Sorry, can't help you, mate. Same crap happens to me, too. :icon_crap:

I'm guessing somewhere along the line some moisture/oil/release-agent has gotten onto it or seeped through the underlying paint, or, maybe, the paint on the rear panel hadn't quite cured/dried as well. ???

Curses !  I've had the same problem between automotive putty & automotive paint - you'd think they would be compatible.  Had to put a coat of Humbrol or Testors model paint between the two layers.

My preference would be without the X-Wing fighter on the roof.

Yep!
