This might seem strange to some, but the best results I have had with
resin
has been Testors Model Master line of enamels. The downside is the lack of
"railroad" colors...

Bill, in your experience with these paints have you had trouble with the
water based paints sticking to resin kits? I have been using lacquer
based
for years and when I have tried the water based paints they seem to chip
or
scratch very easily on resin cars, where the lacquer based paints hold
much
better.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Pierre:

I use mostly Modelflex but Polly Scale has some colors I like too, Aged
or
Tarnished Black (can't remember exactly) and their several BC reds and
browns. They will require a larger orifice than you are probably
accustomed
to. After struggling for sometime for several years with a Binks-Wren SA
that I had purchased as a teen, I purchased the Badger Anthem one year

at

the NMRA National Train Show at a very good price. They had just been
introduced and was designed for water based paints. Just the ticket.

You will also want to use a lower air-pressure, 18-20 PSI. Also stir, do
not shake. You know where I am if you have more questions.

Any highlights from Springfield?
