Funstuff, you are right. I should have resisted the temptation but sometimes you just can't stop yourself. My apologies.

Don't drink and paint lol. I'm pretty sure I forgot to wash the body prior so had some chipping.

Kinda like how it looks though. Like a hillbilly beater car 😂

Is that a new bottle of paint or a bottle you have used in the past ?
Ive found all my paint ive purchased in the last yr are doing the same thing ... Its not bonding like it used to do ... Even scuffing isnt helping .

Thank you - last 3 bodies I painted chipped and I didn't know why. Createx, Auto Air both chipped easily. I thought I was suddenly doing something wrong.

I had the same problem I talk to a friend that is full size car artist and paints RC car he suggested I use a product called Bulldog it is a clear pre paint that you spray on the body that gives created a surface to bite into If you don't want to do that scotch brite the inside make sure you don't do the windows.

I had an issue w/ the last 2 bodies I painted,
one thing I noticed is that I was painting on hot days ...it seems to me that the paint was drying before it hit the body, thus didn't stick as well. It would flake off later when I raced. The very last body I painted I did in the morning when it was about 66* out, the paint stuck much better.

Just a thought, ?

I tried either wicked or createx brand new from hobby lobby early this year. Body was washed but not scuffed. Paint stuck well in some areas but cracked and flaked in others. Temperature was not a factor since I spray in the house. I've since gone back to rattle cans since I only do one color, painting inside was just way more convenient.

Very good observation. I painted in the heat and have lots of problems. I'm a newb and really need the paint to stick. lol I'm switching from Spazstix to Tamiya though, since my results have been worse that I had hoped for.

In hot weather painting with wicked or creatix I recommend thinning the paint 50( with 80% distilled water 20% alcohol and 1 drop of gliceren or dish soap. Also put less paint in the cup. Because before you have finished spraying the paint will dry in the cup. Spray thinner coats of paint.

Tthis body has been raced 5 times with no flaking it was painted on very hot day.
