People swear by the Testor's ELO stuff although its a bit pricey-

Now lets try to figure out what happened with your paint so it doesn't happen a second time.

Whatever people say DO NOT try Brake fluid. I did, and it was the wrong thing to do and not worth it as well as cleanup.

Yeah, brake fluid eats plastic and paint. I have also heard oven cleaner works.

Welcome to the incompetent world of Meter Rat.

Went old skool. A further two hours with wet and dry, used wet got it back to good plastic, and sound paint. I am rather pleased that I made such a cock up, as it has allowed me to address a lot more issues that were highlighted.

Really hope the priming goes smoothly for you mate as that was a lot of hard work to get it back to that stage

do you think maybe a lower coat hadnt dried properly before you put next coat on ?
