Ready for paint, which is an obvious disadvantage to a painted RC model. This time around I am going to wipe with vinegar then alcohol to see if that improves paint adhesion.

What is this about vinegar and alcohol? I have trouble with acrylics pulling up with the masking tape.

Some people use steel wool to rough up the surface, but a test I tried didn't show any improvement. Later I read about the vinegar and alcohol treatment, but since I didn't have vinegar I just wiped with alcohol to clean the plastic. For these patches I have used the vinegar + alcohol treatment.

Poppy, if you tried sending last night then it could be part of the mess that happened when a spammer started using my email address in the "reply-to" on their spam. I have temporarily shut off that email account for now. Try emailing me at melizas@engr.orst.edu as I don't know what your email address is.
