Default Painty people help!

Hi all im after some help

Ive sprayed my micro t shell over the weekend and for some odd reason it has gone white in some places mainly on corners here is a picture




And i cant think why it has done it iused Fastrax Fast Finish Stratos Blue I shook well before use and i put it in my back pocket for half na hour ot walm it up and i cant understnad why it has gone funny. anyone help. I showed it tojimmy today and he wasnt sure just thought maybe one of the ohter painters could help. I washed the shell out with walm water then dryed it off with some kitchen roll before painting.

Have you tried rubbing over where the white bits are on the outside. It could be over spray. I know it happens with fluorescent colours. Other then that I have no idea as I don't paint regularly.

looks like its actually on the overspray film. did you have the shell resting on something whilst you sprayed it?
does it look even on the inside,or is it slightly transparent on the edges?

let it all completely dry 3-5days, lightly sand down and respray. just take your time whilst sanding down,and use VERY fine sand paper.

looks like there was a reaction in the corners.... was the shell fully washed, if so, was it fully rinsed to get the deterget off?

I have no experience of those horrible paints.

The paint doesn't look good to me ash, I looked at it in the flesh (so people know) and it looked chalky and 'odd'. I've never used that paint before but if you are going to use aerosol get the best stuff, Tamiya. Pactra is also good. But I'd not use ANYTHING else personally (apart from the chromes which I hear are good)

I normally use tamiya and ive always used tamiya before but my LHS changed supplier and now only do the paint for like mardave which as a lacre in it so this is all they had so this is what i got i was told by a friend who works there that me used it on his shells and it was good. Ill get a sheet of polycarb from school tommorow and paint a patch see what happens.

strange.
if you washed well it cant be any release agents left over in the shell. layin the paint on too thick wouldnt do that...sod know

like jimmy said, try some tamiya or something instead.
strip it with some brake fluid, wash well and repaint it.

if you have used paint designed for spraying ABS shells, then you have had the reaction you have had cause of it.

This is a lesson to keep shopping till you find the good stuff I've used a few different cans before I picked up the airbrush, and some were bloody crap - mentioning no names
