Never thought about adding it to a carrier. I do have some and I shall give it a try as soon as the ink shows up. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I have a question about india ink. I have been trying to do some research but I keep finding the same results. The results are pretty much using the ink as a wash which is great but I am wondering about using the ink on a car or truck body as the primary color. This would be painted on with an airbrush on top of a sanded and primed base. Curious as to adhesion as if I wanted to do some masking would the tape pull off the ink? Also do you think it would hold up with a 2k clear? Thanks for your time, Pat

Thank you! Unfortunately it took a dive in the purple pond as I couldn't leave well enough alone and it ended up looking like a Mary Kay test dummy lol. Time to start over. I wish I knew about stripping paint off of models back in the 80's and 90's because Ihad to dump a lot of kits due to bad paint. These kits would cost a fortune to replace now.

Well thank you everyone you have definitely answered my question and I appreciate your time and knowledge.

I am going for a look that the car has been sitting in a field for 45 years and baking in the sun to where there isn't much paint left and the surface has rusted. The hairspray is supposed to be a layer that reacts to water and some agitation to cause the paint layer(s) above it to erode away. So Heres the question, does the hairspray add an effect that cant be achieved by just using water and acrylic paint? Lol this is easy to put into words in my head but not so much into text. So the first picture is what I would like to achieve and the second is the rusty looking base coat that I created and would spray the hairspray and acrylic paint onto.

Hey everyone, I have a quick question regarding hairspray weathering. I am in the process of weathering my first kit. I was planning on using the hairspray method but I am wondering, if I am using acrylic paint is the hairspray even needed? Does the hairspray add any special effect that the acrylic paint wouldn't provide on its own? I have my assumptions but you know what they say about assuming lol. My rusty base coat is ready to go and sealed with flat clear Thanks for your time in reading this.
