I have used Duplicolor primer decanted in a airbrush with no problem. It may need thinned a bit.

Lately I have been using MCW lacquers. They work well in the airbrush, no reducing needed, dry fast, run resistant and have a great choice of colors. First paint I have found with a Clear Primer

It was $11 in 2019

Thanks Gerry

I would send you the PDF but this page won't allow it

Look at the "files" on this FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/901280716708640/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1239680576201984

you might look at MCW they have many white variation's https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/me2108e-off-white

Sprue Glue . Sprue melted into Tamiya Extra Thin, I also have used Evergreen plastic.

Looking for a easy to use (I am 73 and "Tech-Challenged") Most of my stash is in storage bins and I like to see what I have on hand. Thanks

found this, I only use the lacquers https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/search?keywords=rust&sortOption=descend_by_match

My scores at the Swap meet

No problem in a dehydrator. I have had too many cans clog up and had to decant them. Now I go to the Auto Parts store and buy Dupli-Color

I always use short pieces of boot material and slide them down to the distributer cap , then use a piece of shrink tubing around the middle of the distributer and a short way up the cap boots. When heated it shrinks around the boots and looks more like a distributor cap. And I always use the correct wiring order going in the proper rotation and #1 in the correct location . but that's just me.

this looks close. https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/2002-gold

I use Canopy Cement probably the same stuff as Elmers

temp was 60 to 65 degrees

Yes I emailed MCW, Mike wrote in a reply that cold weather could be a cause for this. On MCW's application guide it states to paint wet coats from 2 to 3 inch's. You can spray additionally coats without waiting for it to dry. This i did same as all the bodies before leaving a fully smooth glossy finish. The only differences in the process was the cold wet weather. This time it was smooth and glossy until it dried. Drying was done in a dehydrator

I never checked the humidity before. It will be awhile until it stops raining. I will check it when the time comes.

Yes they are all lacquer, I tried the enamel and didn't much care for it. I also used the MCW lacquer primer and lacquer clear

Same as others, Paint was smooth after spray but mottled after as it was drying

No but the area is not heated well and open to some outside elements

Same prep? yes Same Primer? yes Same spay location? yes Painting during rain can bring moisture into effect. , Currently 85 percent humidity Do you have moisture trap on your set up? yes

The first 4 were painted just a couple weeks before the weather got colder and wetter. I think I will hold off painting any more until the weather improves. Until then I have some other parts to put together and some sanding to do.

I have been building about 8 Shelby Cobras in deferent variations. I have been using MCW laquears exclusively. The first first 4 turned out great, some with painted stripes. On the next 4 I can't seem to get a smooth finish, it comes out a bit rough. I am using the same airbrush, air pressure and technique the only difference is the temperatures are a bit colder , about 60deg and there has been more rain. Mike at MCW thought the temperatures may have something to do with it. Has anyone had this happen ?

From my experience the Klear Kote Gloss gives a shinier finish. A true Candy Apple Red needs a gold base color
