Re: Paint question

Thanks Bill. I use windshield washer liquid ans sometimes alcohol as well
but for some reason the paint finish seem more 'fragile' than lacquer
paints. I'll keep trying as I am getting much pressure from my wife.

I have not had any problem with adherence. I always wash them thoroughly
and sometimes will also go over them with denatured alcohol.

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?
