Firstly, awesome website, I've been reading bits for years, baffled by "vacuum molds" and "fiberglass construction", expecting things like commercial grade molds and sold fiberglass (like a canoe) I never got around to making anything.
Then last week I discovered Sintra! Not only that, it turns out I have been using 6ft panels of sintra for work (under "foamex"), which I through out every through months as they get replaced - I have a garage full off sheets of sintra!
And I love it!
So, I thought I'd try making something, this is my first "proper" build, I'm making the Aliens Colonial Marines armour, but I'm having trouble with the spray paint.
It just wont stick well to cut and sanded areas. Any ideas? It looks a bit messy other wise.
Any tips would be much appreciated, thanks! (pic attached)
