Hi all,
Made the move to acrylics (Vallejo, Tamiya, etc...) some time back - due to ease of clean up and indoor use. It works well, for me, for my mecha and ma.k models. But not so much for realistic auto body finishes. It's a much less durable finish and I can't seem to manage the sanding/polishing - even with multiple well cured coats the least bit of sanding will quickly get you back to plastic. That's even with a clear coat and very fine sand paper. Without the sanding/polishing it dull at best.
Has anyone been able to get a good factory shine using acrylics? Or should I go back to the enamels for that purpose?
Thanks!
