bugger!

Post by brendan123 »

Sup fellas,

I finally got around to getting some new bit shells. And i got some new paint the sarv and i put the paint on a small cup of warm water, this was the first time ive ever done it. But it made all the paint go lumpy on the first spray! i usually just spray it on a bit of wood before i paint but i didnt :x it has never done this before & tha paint wasnt sticking on the rood either! i dunno if it was because i put it in the cup of warm water or it was just the can! but this has never happend when i just shook for 5 mins then sprayed :???: o well it was just a practice body anyway!

Yeah it doesn't look too bad.

The kind of problems you're having reminds me of when I don't prep my surface good. Did you scuff it with 400 grit sandpaper, and wipe it down with a solvent like mineral spirits or denatured alcohol? Rubbing alcohol is not the same.

My theory is that when you warm the paints, it cause it to thin, which causes it to spread out and lay thinner, and if certain areas want to repel it, it's easier to dissipate, where as when the paint was thicker, it might have been harder to repel. That make sense to you?
...crazy man, crazy...dig it.
