Modlbldr Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Does anybody have any experience using this stuff? I found a few different bottles of it in my buddy's paint stash and it looks like something I would like to give a whirl. Reading the instructions it looks like something that goes on between the primer and topcoat? Anybody got any pics of paintjobs using it? Later-
Sam I Am Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Just thin it and spray it as per the label, then clear it with your favorite clear.
Modlbldr Posted June 1, 2021 Author Posted June 1, 2021 Reading the label made me think that there was a final (different) color coat to be applied over this. Maybe I misunderstood. Later-
Muncie Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 Toner is mixed with clear and makes something like a candy paint. It is how some of the first candy paint jobs were done in the 1950's. The intensity of the color can be varied by changing the ratio between toner and clear. The paint is transparent and will need a base coat underneath. The information on the bottle isn't very clear. It almost sounds like it's already mixed with some clear so it's just add lacquer thinner and go. Quite a few unknowns - experiment on something that doesn't matter. my two cents and it may be worth less than that...

This is definitely going to need thinned since it is old and is the consistency of gel. Fortunately I have a few bottles of different colors. Later- Edited June 2, 2021 by Modlbldr
