School Me On Scalefinishes Paint

[Snake45]

I've never used the stuff but have read many, many favorable comments from y'all here about it. Thinking of placing an order.

Does it require any special primer, or it fairly safe?

Will a 1 oz bottle completely paint one body? More than one?

How long does the stuff last unopened? If I buy some now and don't get around to using it for several months, will it still be good?

Anything special I need to know about the paint?

A 1 oz. bottle is enough to paint a small car body. Depending on what you plan on painting, you might need to get a 2 oz. size.

 This is the application guide from the ScaleFinishes website.

Snake,

Primer - I've personally used Tamiya grey and white, Duplicolor, and Testors as primers under that paint.

As Joe mentioned above, the 1oz bottle is good enough for a small body, the 2oz (which is what most of the paints are in) can cover 2 to 3 bodies. I shoot at 24psi. As for lasting over time, I have paint that I bought 2 years ago and are still good. I shake the bottle for 30-40 seconds after i hear the bb's inside making noise.

He has gloss paints and base/clear. Testors lacquer and Tamiya are what I have used for the most part.

Any other ?'s, ask away.

Just the kind of information I needed! Thanks so much!

I ordered 8 bottles with the sale going on.  Can't hurt to try them.
