I leave the paint for a couple of days and most times I don't have any problem. There are times that I do and I think it has to do with the curve on the body. The Yellow over Red Austin Somerset I did for the Pullmore Car Carrier set last year. That split line was right on the curve line of both front and rear fenders and it carried on into the door. Sometimes I have peeled the making tape off either too fast, too soon or have pulled toward the new paint instead of slightly away. Pull in the direction of the new painted area will almost always result in paint peeling, specially if you do it too soon. I have mine under inrared lamps, same as the sun so if you leave the toy under that light too long the masking can stick to the old paint. Timing is the key.

White primer is hard to coat, it seems to separate from sharp edges & details, the more coats the better & spray the sharp edges first so as you can "build" to them.
I left this topic with a Rootes theme so here are 3 more, the sunbeam rapier , Hillman Minx & Singer Gazzelle, I will not restore these as they are too good to.

I find that white primer does not "run away from ridges" but stays put. White primer I don't use often but I do 2 coats like I do most times with grey primer. I find Yellow and light green 2 of the hardest colors as they don't have heavy pigments. The are almost transparent in nature therefore hard to cover up anything. 5 or 6 coats for SF Yellow paint.

Nice examples of these cars and they are in pretty good condition.

I decided to give my rough painted Singer Vogue a make over , I decided to paint it in the colours of a car that an old man owned who lived on the corner of my road as a kid, it was always garaged & in very nice condition.I will need to get new window for it.

Looks much better now and all it needs is a new window unit, like you said. This is a nice color combo. Suites the car well.

You brought it back to life, it looks very good.

<p>Very nice work!</p>

Outstanding.

Usually try to get all the parts before restoration.
Aarons Diecast collectibles is where i go
Steve Flowers is the main supplier

Looks good!

might want to pop out the top of that roof from the underside in order to get that 'new' window unit to fit lol

<p>very nicely done</p>

Replacement windows fitted & I have put this car with the Corgi garage as it is how I remember the one on the corner of my road when i was a boy although the real garage had opening "barn doors" & not the up and over like the Corgi but it is how I have the picture in my memories

That Red Roof with the red interior work sit well together.

Nicely done and I agree with Bob, red over the white looks really good on this car. The matching red interior does ad to it too.

Don't you paint the tail lights?
