Sometimes you make a mistake...
Ooops! Sometimes things don't go quite to plan. When I was preparing the LKM V10C I used just hot soapy water when cleaning off the waxy residue from the 3D print process...
I applied primer and it dried ok so I was happy to progress to final coats - however in several places on the body this just didn't dry at all - so out with a tub of white spirit and the loco got bathed, scrubbed, left to soak and bathed again over and over until all the paint was removed and the waxy residue completely sorted. So now I am ready to start over... I wanted to share this to show that sometimes s**t happens but it's not irreversible if you can keep calm...
More soon!
