<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "How do you take care of chipped paint?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net How do you take care of chipped paint? After primering sometimes we dont get around to painting them right away ,
and after much touching the paints start to chip off.

What do you guys do? re spray the mini?
foundation paint on metal? ( which color do you suggest? )

or any other ways? hmmm!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914476.page GMT Re:How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914477.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914505.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? The Ork tank busters i have are from a trade ( so its expected the primed models chip on route here )

But im not sure if its the model or it might have heavy coats on it already ( it looks so round and smooth )


So respray im scared it'll end up too thick.

Using foundation paint i dunno which sticks -_-]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/914516.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915101.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915151.page GMT Re:How do you take care of chipped paint?
If the area is metal, expand the chipped area a tiny bit, then use brush on primer.

For fixing chips I normally thin the primer down to a point where it takes about 3 coats to get the area covered.
This is so you won't have a chip seam.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915214.page GMT Re:How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915282.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/915376.page GMT Re:How do you take care of chipped paint?

At first i didnt quite understand ( or rather didnt imagine it would be that obvious )

but you are right , there is a chip on the Ork's pant which looks like the pants ripped .
might paint it like that for fun lol... )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916671.page GMT How do you take care of chipped paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916707.page GMT Re:How do you take care of chipped paint?
If it is base coated or you've started detailing you can sometimes take a big glob of water and brush it on the area and the paint (if acrylic) will start to wash off. You need to be careful when doing this but it has worked for me in the past. Works best if you do it on a completely separate piece of the model (ie one whole shoulderpad or one bolter, etc). If it is just a small chip I just try to repaint as best I can with the same colors/methods.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252888/916784.page GMT
