Need advice to fix painting error

Post by TexasAndy »

Hey guys I need your help. I sprayed a olivegrun camo pattern over the Stug III ausf. F that I'm working on from Cyberhobby. I am not happy with the results. How do I do this over? Spray the base coat again? I also did preshading which I am completely happy with. Looking for recommendations here guys. Thanks in advance.

What paints and primer did you use?
Is there a way you can show us a photo?

Sprayed AK Interactive primer first then preshaded with Vallejo black primer. Sprayed based coat with AK Dunkelgelb and then attempted camo pattern(AK Olivgrun opt. 2) over base coat.

There is a product called purisol that is fantastic at removing acrylics when used with a tooth brush.

This will strip it back to the plastic though so you would have to start from scratch.

If you are really desperate to remove the paint use brake fluid. You can also use dettol (brown liquid only) if you really want to start again. Mr Muscle oven cleaner is another.

I depends on the thickness of the paint work.

I was able to re-prime the Aardvark and start over without losing any detail.

Have done the same, I managed to just respray and kept the details. All depends on how thick you already have it.

Yeah as said as long as the paint you put down wasn't too thick just spray over it.

These are almost exactly the same camos, and considering the size difference between the tiger and the Panzer/StuG III it looks right to me. The Panzer IV's camo here is a bit different but still the stripes are still a similar thickness. :think: :scratch:: If I were you in this situation then I'd keep it, as its great right now. Don't risk messing it up by redoing it all :doh:

Both of these photos are from http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com, the best site for camo pattern ever created :thumb2: :thumb2:

Hey guys I "resprayed" the vehicle if you didn't see the video of my first attempt please check it out. Tonight I also painted the details and did some chipping on the camo stripes(pretty pleased with that). The shiny coat is of course Future as I am about to put on the decals and do a wash. Please let me know if you think its an improvement.
