I'm doing my first ever repaint, and as a base color I'm using Testors One-Coat Lacquer spray. I'm having some problems with it. Here's the steps I took before spraying:
-Disassembled the toy
-Removed factory paint w/ rubbing alcohol
-washed w/ warm soapy water
-allowed to dry completely overnight
-mask off areas that are not to be painted.
My problem is that the spray seems to go on smoothly...then I come back when it's dry and portions of the pieces have gone all pebbly. Some parts are perfect. What gives? I'm currently using Blazing Black, a glittery black color. Should I just give up? I've sanded off the lacquer several times, trying to get it to be smooth.
If I do give up, will the metallic black enamel paint have the same glittery effect? Is there a way to get rid of the roughness without ruining the parts that are perfect?
