Really depends on what I'm trying to achive. I have had luck with EVERY brand of paint I've tried. I just bought some Black Gold aerosols at NNl east and they are phenomenal! I've used Testors and Tamiya synthetic laquers with excellent reults. I even painted my Snake Cuda in one day with a combination of Duplicolor primer, Tamiya color [Decals between] and finally Testors 1814 Enamel clear coat... All in the same day at 92 degress and bone dry last year. I use Duplicolor acrylic clear over anything I want and as long as it's dry it comes out great. For giggles I shot it on a rather wet day and it clouded and then cleared up for a super hard finish that was as clear as a bell. Duplicolor colors are far more finicky and require almost zero humidity to shoot without blushing. Depending on the day and what you are trying to achieve, and your relative comfort level, all paints offer excellent results with experience and technique. I can offer examples as needed. Bob Paint is your friend, get to know it.....

Duplicolor Paint problems
Dragline replied to Patrick2005's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Most Duplicolor paints are very suseptible to humidity and will blush at even modest humidity ranges. A dry day and it will be perfect. Bob -

'40 Ford Panel- Finished
Dragline replied to JustBill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
This is looking very sweet there Mr Bill. The wood accents are on point. It needs some color bud. Bob -
I love it in many ways.... However, with all that glitz, some plug wires and perhaps a fuel line would put it into an WHOLE other catagory. Time to think about those things next build, Very nice. Bob

I will be attending along with JustBill to help Raul and Lyle represent MAMA. If I make my own nametag I'm gonna look like a tard. Will there be any there? I'll wear it until I am familiar with most of you guys, at which point it'll go into the trash. Bob

Myself and JustBill will be there on Saturday. Hope to meet some of you guys. I'll be the guy with the long curly hair and Hawaiian shirt. Bob -
I actuall have a JJ oil bag on my 73 Shovel. And while it's OK, I looked at some Detroit Bro's stuff and that gear is faaaaaar better. I'm going to dump this one and pick up one of theirs. Their peanut gas tank is also super nice. My bike will go down the road longer than his perhaps.... I was riding rigids before he knew what that meant. Bob
