Before painting your model, the area to be painted should be
roughened with 600-1200 grade sand paper to provide a good “key”
for the paint to bond with the Pet-G material.
If there are any holes or gaps these can be filled with polyester
putty and smoothed to give a good finish.
Spray painting is best done with a lacquer that does not contain
solvents, these take a long time to dry. For the best results and
quick drying, the room should ideally be at 25deg C, and the spray
can also heated to 25deg C. For best results a number of thin coats
should be sprayed.
Do not hang the fuselage vertically when painting, place it on a rod,
this reduces the chances of the paint running.
