So I'm having a really bad time painting my cherokee body right now. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I washed the body soap and water
Applied the body mask for windows
Then I wanted to mask off the window trim and paint it instead of using the window stickers. I've had bad luck with getting those on perfectly so I figured if I painted it myself. Here is where it started going wrong.
The masking didnt keep the paint from bleeding around the window lines so those had to be fixed with goof off. They are not perfect but acceptable.
Then I wanted to do a 8bit camo pattern so i sprayed 4 heavy coats of plasti dip and cut out the pattern and sprayed black over the cutout sections.
Now I can't remove the dip it just crumbles as I try to peel it although I did a heavy coat.
So I tried alcohol because I read that helps with stubborn dip removal. Unfortunately it's also taking my paint off as well.
I was using tamiya spray paint I picked up from hobby lobby. Also I ran out of the black and I can still see through the black that was painted with about 3 coats with about 1 hour drying time. I gave it 3 days to cure. I've painted bodies before with no issue not sure why this one is giving me a hard time or where I went wrong.
