Repainting an E-11

[ItalianNinja86]

I obtained an all resin E-11 blaster from a friend of mine

he painted the it but never filled in the little air bubbles so their quite noticable

i was wondering how to go about repainting it and repairing the air bubbles

for the bubbles you can fill them with bondo putty or go the inexpensive and easier route, fll the holes with baking powder and then drop some super glue on it, file and repaint.

I would sand the area, putty (bondo or Aves depending on the type of holes to be filled), sand smooth when dry, and prime. If it needs more, sand a bit, and repeat! The only other thought may be to strip the gun of its paint first, but I'm not sure I'd do that if you are using the same type of paint to repaint.

If you look around, you'll find tons of examples of this type of work on the board.

Baking Powder or Baking Soda ?

yuuuuuuup.
Fill a hole with baking SODA
My bad.
Too many glue fumes.

or you could use testor's putty, squadran putty, magic sculp, or aves apoxie sculpt.

I've tried some of those. I also like wood putty for little pin holes.
