Does lacquer paint only come in spray cans? I can't find any in bottle form.

I accidently used a gloss enamel paint to paint the interior, and it looks terrible gloss. How do I make it matte?

Peter, I was searching for decal solution and something popped up called bmf setting solotion, maybe it was just a company's setting solution

also what is the best setting solution for decals on enamel?

well it looks fine other than the blemishes

It's just white paint from a spray can

my paint job is terrible, and I don't know what to do

Do decals and bare metal foil go above or under gloss coats and and clear coats?

I have no idea the thickness of skim milk ? but anyway windex fixes everything (thats from my big fat greek wedding)

I was thinking that it was too thinned. But when I didn't thin it it just didn't even spray. I'm thinning it with water about 1:1

I'm airbrushing with some acrylic testors but it's always coming out splattery. It either comes out nicely, but then beads up on the model, or it just shoots out splattery. Both have happened.

I've got a beautiful blue kind of body color for my new amt corvette model, it's a testor's enamel paint. I'm gonna airbrush it onto the body, but I was wondering which white primer (I would like a spray can for both) and clear gloss coat is compatible with enamel paint. I've already made the mistake of using lacquer gloss on enamel...

I've actually played at Carnegie hall

Well, I guess I'm on a good track then. I've only spent about 200-300 dollars and I've been doing models off and on for the past year or two without any want of quitting, even with lots of failure.

No, I've given up on the model, I'm just going to start fresh on a new one. How do I clean the flash off on the fenders and under the tail lights?

Yes, I have enamel paint but lacquer clear coat. I didn't know these weren't compatible.

I was using a spray can to apply some testors lacquer gloss for a last layer but it started to eat away at my paint job, the back of my car is loosing it's color and so is the hood. Why is this?

For airbrushing and spray cans, do I need a ventilated area? I just use my garage near the opening to let some fresh air flow, I also don't wear a mask. Once finished I just leave it there for an hour or two before bringing it back in. Is that safe? Also how do you do the foil for the little trims around the windows and where do I get it?

Do you use enamel paints and primer or lacquer? Do you need to thin lacquer and primer for airbrushing?

Wow, that looks incredible. Do you spray or brush everything? Also how do you mask so well for the paint job?

Wont that make the pieces so thick? After multiple coats of primer and then a paint coat? I'll never be able to fit the pieces where they belong. I have enough trouble trying to get the pieces in place with only one coat just paint. Also, what does the primer sealer do? Also, how can I get the clear plastic to stick to regular plastic? I tried the usual enamel glue, and then I tried elmer's because someone said that worked. Neither of these stuck the windshield to where it belonged.
