dino have a look at arni's thread - does that help you? That's what these group builds are for - to help to learn "how to" and they are great for just that!

There is no need to rush Dino,just strip the paint off and start again.It will be worth it in the end.

Hey Dino,give us some info and we can help you.What paint have you applied-enamel or acrylic? Both of these can be stripped off with oven cleaner.
If you really need help just pm me,and I will talk you through the instructions.
