How does it look weird? Brush marks?
Try stripping the paint or painting over it with a spray can. Or, if you can, get yourself an airbrush and have another go. If you can give us more info, we can help you fix it.
Best of luck to you,
Scott

Hi Tazz
It sounds like you've got youself sorted but, for future reference, you can strip Tamiya acrylics with Isopropyl Alchohol. It won't attack the plastic, but I'd still keep it away from any clear parts to be safe... :-)
All the best
