HELP on how to loosen joints after repainting.

[hydroxycut]

Hi Guys!

I got this problem after repainting a leader class megatron,ironmonger, and hulk. The joints became stiff and even after 3 days when I bend them the paint will just get busted. Please help me solve this promblem of mine...I'm using tamiya acrylic paints. thanks! :)

I like to sand the joints down if possible to over come this.

If this is not an option, maybe a little alcoholl squirted into the joint will help loosen it up since you used acrylics.

thanks Boggs6ft7! I'll try that... :) just wondering if there is a kind of paint that can be use instead of acrylic to prevent this issue thanks! :)

You best option is to prepare beforehand, sand down the joints, or if they can't be seen anyways, just mask them before painting.
