DRIVING ME NUTS!!!

Been getting heaps of crap in my paints jobs of late, any tips??

In the paint or after you spray? Do you use rattle cans or airbrush? What type of paint, enamel or acrylic lacquer?

i clean my model ready for spraying ( rattle can) and by the time im finished its full of shit, use'n tamiya....

You say "of late".
Have you changed anything recently which could be causing this?
Any reno in your house? Sawdust can take forever to settle out of the air.

Havnt changed a thing zen, ive taken a year off modeling due to work in WA, only started building agian the other day, no reno's but im obviously doin somthin wrong....

Do you spray in the open or have a booth/box. If no box you may want to try one, as enamel takes a while to dry and if you leave it in the open, this could be the cause. I spray in the open but then put the model in a warm box with a down light to help the drying and keep dust out. I try not to use many enamels for this very reason, auto acrylics are much more forgiving. HTH

u don't have any spider webs above were u a spraying,I had that happened to me once while airbrushing the fell on the surface as I was spraying.

Hrmm, sounds like i need one of these " boxes"........

Think you have seen this but here's a reminder https://ozautobuilders.forumotion.com/general-chit-chat-f2/my-warm-box-t1707.htm

do you put the kit on a surface? sometimes if you paint on the same surface the over spray that lies there flicks up. if so put down some butchers or brown paper and then change the sheet.
