William1707821657 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 The image shows dark spots on the paintwork which my mate says is all bits of dried pigment where you haven't shaken the bottle it all adds up but is he correct? My brush is new and completely clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I'm with your mate, it's probably pigment that has failed to go into solution. Could be duff bottle of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be duff bottle of paint.I did just simply order them online off ebay , i heard stirring the paint should fix the issue or adding thinners once its been dropped onto the pallete , as it will all have to go eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1707821657 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 I just have a question regarding Vallejos paint , I know this isnt really the best place as this is ideally for humbrol but i will still ask , so i tested my new brushes and vallejo model colour paint and on a clean plastic spoon , i thinned the paint with a ratio of 2:3 and began to brush it on and i noticed in the paintwork there are small particles of i dont know what , the water was clean and the brush was definitley clean , i dont know what this is or if this is normal for vallejo paint , if anybody could awnser that would be greatly appreciated.

William1707821657 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 After having second thoughts of what i originaly thought was dry pigment in the vallejo paint ,i actually noticed its also happening with my humbrol paint , so i came to the conclusion that its just small contaminents , is this something i just have to put up with when i brush paint or is there a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Work in a dust free atmosphere - get the vacuum cleaner out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1707821657 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Work in a dust free atmosphere - get the vacuum cleaner out.ill definitley get on that , i also notice small little pits on the paintjob which is what i thought was dry pigment but it might be stuff on the brush , is there a solution to this and make sure my finished are 100% paint only and no little specks in the finish , or is this just something you have to put up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padefc Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Am no expert but when I'm painting I use as bigger brush as possible only i only use the flat type for the fuselage undercarriage wings etc also I clean brush every couple of mins especially if it's warm as paint can dry out very quickly I'm experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebeep Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 A dust free environment and storing brushes where they won't pick up dust minimises specks on paint, but eliminating dust completely is very difficult. Wash brushes before you start and as Padefc says, cleaning periodically during painting is not a bad idea. If I'm using brushes I give them a regular rinse to remove any paint that's starting to set. Even after taking every precaution you might still get specks, carefully remove with fine abrasive and then polish back to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
