Detail paint question

13 May 2013 - 09:39 AM

This may be an odd question but I have a body that is ready to be detail painted. (read trim, moldings, etc.) I used Plasticote primer and Duplicolor paint. I have not cleared it yet. My two questions are, will the Testor's paint I have (enamels mostly) be ok to paint the details over the lacquer paint? Also will the Duplicolor clear harm the enamels after I give them time to cure? The body has been painted for about 3 months now so there should be no curing issues with the Duplicolor paint. Thanks in advance!

After a break of about 15 years or so (I've built one model in that time period) I have decided to get back into the swing of things. This is my first attempt. It's going to be a box stock, for my pleasure only build. Nothing fancy. Just trying to see if I can still do this stuff. Updates my be a little sparse as I have to get some supplies as I go along. So please don't get upset with long update periods. I should have more than these pictures this weekend at some point in time. Yall stay tuned!

What do you use?

12 September 2012 - 02:42 PM

I'm getting back into the hobby after about a 15 year or so vacation. I have a question about paint. When it comes to detail paint, interrior, engine bay and such, what do you use? I know the usual paint, Testors, Model Master, ect. Do any of you use acrylic craft paint? Like the kind you can buy at Walmart or Hobby Lobby? I ask because I'm on a tight budget being a single father. Back in the day the price of the little bottles didn't bother me that much, but now I have to be dollar wise. I need the most bang I can get for my buck. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
