I am looking for a little help. Some metal models I have painted are chipping really easily. I cleaned them before base coating, painted them, did 3 layers of varnish and then a dull coat.
What would be the easiest way to fix these?
Any tips to keep this from happening again.
Thanks

If they do chip, you can use a bit of brush-on primer and re-paint the chipped part, then apply some brush-on varnish. I don't know of any other ways to handle this problem really.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788454.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788454.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788461.page GMT
Also, make sure your main primer is firstly actually a primer and not just paint, and secondly self etching, and give it plenty of time to cure before painting. It isn't necessary, but I often prime weeks or months ahead of painting, 24-48 hours is probably adequate. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788474.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788474.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748780/9788480.page GMT
