WheelerMason Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 **First Post Disclaimer** So I am working on my ANH Stunt Helmet and in my excitement to have the darn thing together I rushed painting the lines on the traps. Instead of having 12 thin lines like I planned, I somehow ended up with 8 fat and ugly lines. What do I do? I am new to painting in general, but have some knowledge. The rest of the traps are fine so I'd rather not redo them...I don't know...anybody been here or have some advice??? Mason Quote

Bulldog44[TK] Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 Can you paint over the lines with a another base coat of gray? Then re-do the lines? Not sure if they will show through but it might be the safest option before trying to remove paint which can be a risky job if things go wrong. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 Yes you can start over with a fresh coat of grey. You may, or may not have to make several passes because of bleed through but it's not a huge deal. Everything is fixable. Quote
