Nah. He took it out with him without even letting it dry and got scolded by a professor that it was still fuming out and he was pretty much poisoning everyone. He was walking out the door with it while I was walking back into the room.

Final pic I have of it. This is before the touch up coat and then varnish coats. the paper logo is just for visualization for the general area I planned to apply my waterslide decal. Ignore the watermark, my camera app is busted so had to download a new one.

Yea, I put Madotsuki on everything.
To be fair, he was a student most likely using the facility for an actual school project like it was intended. I technically wasn't supposed to be there but the professor liked what I was doing and let me stay. She asked if I've painted figured before because I had good technique, but I just had months of research before attempting this.

>> No.1295186

Just because he had the right to be there it doesnt mean he can be an incosiderate piece of shit. It would've been just as bad if he ruined another student's project. Did you try to gently scratch away the spots? Maybe you could remove them and then do another light coat of color or clear coat to get a smooth surface.

I'm not 100% sure but I'd say he's a dude and it comes as no surprise to me that he didn't do anything, I don't know if you got the memo, but basically young """"""men"""""" are pumped full of xenoestrogen and have less drive than a woman. And I'm not even bashing the paintjob, I actually like that game, I'm mad at his lack of spine. Pic related.

I just finished up my shift at work so I'm heading to the uni to try fixing my paint. I sanded it down (hopefully knocking off the top coats) and I'll hit it up with maybe a layer or two of color again followed by re-applying the clear coats. Hoping it's salvageable and I don't have to scratch down to base coat again and start from scratch.

>>1295253
Oh no, I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that he was the one using the room for its intended purposes even if his project was shit and obviously had zero attention for detail. Like even if I tried to "accidentally" ruin his shit, it's literally...shit. He may appreciate it getting damaged.

>>1295253
I didn't really "leave" the project in there. In my region it's about 30 degrees F, so in order to ensure the paint dries optimally I made sure the project stood in the room that's specifically designed to be an optimal spray painting environment (complete with constant heat). Others have their projects in there as well, because the rules for using the area are that you let your project fume out in the room (where there is a ventilation system) before removing them. Throughout the day, many others have come and gone into the room, sprayed their projects while being aware of their environment, and keeping them off to the sides to dry for a while.

I had no issues my entire 3 day weekend utilizing this room despite the probably heightened traffic considering this is around the time of finals and I'm sure these students have pieces to submit. Everyone was courteous and I made sure that when spraying my controller I was never in a dangerous distance from anyone else's projects. It just so happened that in the final 5 minutes or my final coat drying, shitboi came in to paint his turd.

let this be a life lesson. all you had to do was put a cardboard box over your work. this is actually something I must do whenever i'm between coats.

post pics of the black dots. I think you probably just didnt wait for each coat to dry, put it on too thick and now you have failure of the sublayers. bubbling, dust and pitting. describe the layers you used.

Paint on plastic is fine if you know what you're doing. The best places to learn are the model building threads on /m/. It all applies to console mods exactly the same way.

I thought OP was going to do le green and shitty stenciled triforce theme for the billionth tine that every uncreative hack decides to do but I can appreciate that OP actually had thought put behind the design to the point of even altering the logo to fit the aesthetic more. Bonus points for picking a niche character and thematically basing it off her instead of straight up putting an image of her all over.

OP post the end results when you finish. Id you already did top coats then you're safe to sand down a few layers instead of starting completely from scratch. You may just have to do 2 more color layers. Depends how bad the splatter was.
