    can I ask what can I do because I just finished top coating my sazabi ver ka and it has this foggy white marks what can I do to remove them? I’ve used a flat matt top coat.. thanks in advance.

    • If you have a hair dryer or a heat gun (lowest setting, you don’t want to melt the plastic) and heat up the effected areas. Don’t keep blowing on the same spot, but move in circulair motions.
      The problem is, you sprayed during a humid day, all the moisture in the air settles on the model and mixes with the air born paint particles. The hot air will evaporate the moisture in the paint if you are lucky, if not you gonna have to sand the effected pieces…. Use a 800, preferably a 1000 grid sandpaper. You can start with a coarser one, say 600 and the work your way up.
      To avoid any inconvenience in the future, don’t paint on a humid/rainy day.
      Good luck and happy building!

      • thanks bro managed to fix it same style mostly.. I applied another coat then right after it quikly use air dryer but rather lowest setting I’ve put it in the middle.. from 70% frosting in kit to nothing.. yey!

        • That’s good news!!! The hair dryer may be set on a higher setting indeed, but a heat gun is designed to strip paint, hence the warning. Nevertheless, happy to hear you got it fixed!
          Good job!!!!!!
