- can and air temperature should be around 20°C, if it is under 15°C you dont have a big chance to get it done right. If the outside of the shell is getting slightly wet when the paint is drying than the humidity was too high and / or the air temperature was too low.

-Which cans do you use? Tamiya are best but small and expensive. "RC car color" (big red RC letters and white car letters) and LRP are good too. I prefere Rc car colors because of the price and size.

- clean it with dish soap and after that use some brake cleaner and a clean towel. Dont use too muchs brake cleaner and rub it dry- dont just let it dry as it can make a strange dust. Dont use window cleaner because it contains silicone.


Temperature is most important, I would say 70%
15% color
15 % cleaning
