Hey guys,
Did a quick webz search but didn't see what I was looking for. So, wanted to reach out see if anyone had any thoughts/advice/experience.
So, I botched a small area on one of my drop pods while experimenting with my new airbrush. Basically left a ring of paint in a small area due to too much air pressure, or too little paint, or too big of a needle or, most likely, too little knowledge of how to airbrush.
Anyway, I was thinking about hitting the small area with sand paper just to take the paint back down, but not eat into the plastic. That way I can paint back over it and smooth out my dumb ass mistake. I dont want to go the route of simple green or simple clean because I'm not stripping the whole model, just trying to clean up a small, localized area.
So, my question, do folks use sand paper at all with their plastic minis? If so, any advice on grain size, or type of sand paper, etc? I assume the finest possible would be the way to go. But, just wanted to see if anyone could point me in the right direction.
As always, appreciate any comments!
