Kurt posted a photo of his beautiful Corman GP9 in O scale some weeks ago. I wanted to do that with a spare Bachmann Geep. The Corman decals arrived yesterday and work started and went well until this morning when the shell got the thin dull coat layer....
I got the red paint can in another shop and from another brand than all my other paint yesterday. The old dull coat did dissolve the red paint and it is the most dull possible and the surface is full of tiny cracks
There are so many prototype engines with dull paint and looking run down but this Corman series has been freshly repainted and should really shine in the sun :x
I gave it a try and added a layer of gloss coat. The engine became more glossy but all the tiny cracks became very much visible too.
I am done for today...
