1/64 Pierce Dash CF Tower Ladder Build Along

[CFM]

All I can tell you about the paint problem is this.
After applying some body putty and sanding the heck
out of it until smooth, I washed it TWICE with dish soap
and water, and rinsed it several times. Then let it dry
overnight and sprayed the primer, let it dry overnight,
and added top coat (color) and finally clear coat. A lot
of work, but you see the results. I have built two Shapeways
cabs, and have had no paint problems. Just took my time and
made sure they were absolutely clean before priming.

Wow, that is fantastic! Awesome job man!

Could we have some photos of the progress as of now?

I ran into some paint issues but seem to have it resolved and will hopefully have an update by the end of the weekend.

First, my apologies for not updating this thread in a while. I ran into major paint issues with the Dash CF cab, so I have scrapped it and will be using an Enforcer cab instead. So far so good - the white paint is on and dried, and the green roof will be applied later today. here's a pic thus far.

And here is the Enforcer cab with the green paint applied. Next up - clear coat. And then painting of the details and decals.

Mike, could you sand the bad paint with some coarse paper; sand it down to the bare plastic, wash it and repaint it?
I sanded my Dash CF four times before it was smooth enough to prime, paint and clear coat.

Mike: Any thought to making a buck and vacuum forming a windshield??

I wouldn't have a clue how to do that.
