Painting help

[indydog]

Ok guys, I need some help for all you painting masters.

I'm building Max Papis's Harley Davidson Reynard and I'm having trouble with the paint job. I'm using TS-53 as the color and I did laydown a primer coat. I'm having trouble getting it to cover in the edges. The paint looks great, but I have faint lines at most of the corners. It's really bad at the rear of the sidepods.

Any ideas?

If you are having coverage issues in corners and seams etc, the best thing to do is:
Decant some of the paint and use an airbrush to hit all those areas first. Three or so mist coats should be sufficient. Once those areas are covered (not glossy yet, just covered) then mist coat the entire body.
Once it sets up, then you can apply your heavier, wet coats.
If you don't have an airbrush, you can still use this process. Just go lighter with the passes until all areas have a uniform look.
It sounds like the coats were laid heavy and the paint didn't lay down evenly. It tends to pull away from corners and seams when that happens.

Its best to dust it first, then you can put on the wet coats.
