Clear coat,,,

[blackhat250]

Well painted my first tank this week [Ts250] put on decals [ with soapy water.]

looking great, Aplied lacquer tonight, [Pro XL 1K] Dust coat ,then 2nd, as finishing 3rd coat and a wrinkle appeared in two places,[reaction,] dam it

do i wet sand now 1200 grit , then re-apply. or pollish it out with compound,?

[drewpy]

depends how deep the reaction is and where!

try compound first, and if that don't work, work your way through the rougher stuff

[blackhat250]

Well " just wet sanded it. and it was only last coat of clear, its flatted out, will compound pollish on sunday,

That is a right, royal Pain in the a***. Glad you could salvage it. I got the dreaded crinkle on the last piece of the TS. I had to strip it right back.

I must say that there is a distinct lack of pictures for this project John!!

[drewpy]

maybe its an Airfix kit?

dont rush it john, you should let it harden off a couple of weeks, yeah I'd sand it with a wet 1200 grit and soapy water, then T-Cut :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :)
