Don’t know anything about elfbaked paint, RAL’s, or 1001’s,1010,1100, 0011 etc.
However I do know paint, (and cookies) it appears your paint is being repelled by the plastic. That “beading” of the paint is an obvious indicator.
If you have cleaned the part as well as you’ve stated then maybe a primer is required? What does the bottle say about a primer coat? You might have to prime with another acrylic paint, allow it to thoroughly dry, and try again. Me I’d shoot some auto primer from a spray can and try again. I like Plastikote T235, light gray, goes on thin, and dries overnight.
What does every one else think? Prime or not? If he primes should he use acrylic or enamel? Or just try another bottle?
Here’s a question- how much of the interior of an open topped vehicle, say a 251, would get resprayed if the crew is going from an early grey paintjob to a tropical sand colored overspray?
Is this an area for creative interpretation or were crews fairly thorough in these coverup repaints?
I wondered about this too and while modeling a DAK 251 I carefully read some DAK specific reference books which indicated that it was realized that the grey interiors were too much contrast for being spotted from the air so they were also painted? I’m sure variations existed as with everything though?
I’m sure it could go either way, depending on paint supplies and the amount of time available. To quote from page 39 of Panzer Colors, concerning DAK vehicles; “On many open top vehicles, only the exterior was repainted first, and the interiors were left dark grey until throrough repainting was needed.”
