AND another in the saga of nothing going right with this build! Yesterday morning began to apply the top coat paint over the fresh primer, something I've done a dozen times before.
This is car primer and Humbrol enamel for the top coat, never have I seen a reaction like this ever! All I can think of is they have changed the formulation of the car primer over here. I might as well have attempted to spray water on it.
I left it and went to have a coffee and decide how best to clean it off. Going back 30 minutes later I didn't have to worry too much. Most of it as can be seen by the runs already forming, had run off the hull and pooled all over the floor, this was in our hobby room (4th bedroom) I sprayed inside because the wife is away and it was cold outside
So, with a roll of toilet tissue and a bottle of white spirit I began wiping it all off, 30 minutes later it was as clean as it was getting. Move it all out into the hallway and another 30 minutes and I had the floor clean as well, fortunately having ceramic tiling on all floors meant it was easy to remove. House now stinks of white spirit
But I have a couple of weeks for it to dissipate before swimbo is back.
Off to our shopping mall now, only 40 miles away to buy some Vallejo acrylics, this was my last build with Humbrol as I had bought the paint months ago for this build. So at some point this next week expect a full new update with paint!!
