cant you lightly rub the resin with some sandpaper to give the paint something to key to?

Here is the underside, showing the speaker hole, reed switch and main switch.
The 8 pin plug is for plugging in the headlights, interior lights and pantograph flash LED. The magnet is what's called an earth magnet. They are very strong. I removed one tie (sleeper) and stuck it in with Blu Tack; otherwise it clamps itself on to the underside of the SPUD. On the layout it would be glued in and ballasted.
So far, so good.

The reason paint often does not stick to resin kits is the film of silicon that comes from the silicon mould.Thanks Alan. This is my first resin kit. They are different, aren't they?
Before putting a resin kit together all the parts should be washed in warm(not hot)soapy water. Dish washing liquid is ideal.
Lightly scrub each part with old tooth brush and Solvol soap as it is washed also helps a lot. Then rinse in plain warm water and let dry.
When the model is together repeat the above again as the oil from fingers(skin) will often lay on the surface of the resin and cause paint not to adhere properly.
Or the model can be washed in a plastic prep solution and let dry.
I prefer wash in warm soapy water and T/brush & solvol soap method.
I always wash all models be they plastic, resin, metal before painting.
Plastic prep solution is available from any good hobby shop.
Isopropyl alcohol can be substituted for the plastic prep.
Electronic shops sell Isopropyl or chemists sell it as rubbing alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol is also a very good track cleaner.
