I am in the middle of a painters worst nightmare. A little background. I tried spraying the fuselage myself, and that turned out pretty bad. I tried to fix it, and that turned out bad as well. I took it to a paint shop, followed their instructions, they shot it with basecoat again, and all the flaws are coming back up. So the only thing to do is strip all the paint off and start again. My Bad. You live you learn, I think I have taken the whole experience in stride pretty well. But, I helped the painter prep the wings, VS, and HS. Those got shot a couple days ago, by the painter, in a paint booth, and he is a pretty good painter. The next day we pick up the parts from the paint booth and right off the bat, there was more orange peel than I would have liked but nothing a little elbow grease can't fix up, till we took the parts outside. Severe tiger strips, and the clearcoat doesn't even flow out over the basecoat where it was put on too light. I am not really looking for painting advice per say, but I must ask the question.
Has anybody else gone through this kind of painting HELL? I have countless hours into this paint and I feel as if I am getting further and further away from flying with every spraying. Has anyone had to get out the stripper and strip their fuselage. I am not looking forward to stripping the fuselage as I am afriad the stripper is going to get inside the fuse and cause me further grief.
