GeeBee Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 A good friend is sending me some of Scalefinishes for the '68 Dodge Charger I'm going to be starting soon, now they list the paint as Acrylic Enamel, which is ready to airbrush, now most of my builds I use old school Cellulose lacquer, so I'm not used to using Acrylic paints. The colour I am getting is UU-1, light blue metallic, which according the Scalefinishes, it doesn't need clear coating, Now I have a few questions to anyone who has used there paints :- If the paint does need thinning, what's the best to thin it with ? Does it need clear coating, and if so, what's the best to use ? I'm going to be using my Paasche H airbrush, what's the best pressure to use with this airbrush and paint. I hope someone can give me a few tips before the paint arrives, so I'm ready to crack on with the build soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Joseph Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ignore the "acrylic" part because it's not at all like an acrylic hobby paint. It's an automotive acrylic enamel, which is a totally different beast. Refer to the Scalefinishes application guide here: http://www.scalefinishes.com/use.html Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalefinishes Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 No need to thin and no need to clear over it. The Paasche should spray fine at 20-25 psi. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to email me at scalefinishes@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
