Gel paint ?....


Recommended Posts

Quite frequently I use nail polish for painting my kits.My wife bought me some cool colors but

they are gel polish. Has anyone used the gel's yet and if so how do you thin them? I was thinking

just extra thinner or is there some other trick to it?

Pretty sure you just thin as usual. But then do a test spray and adjust if need be. I haven't used them but seen referenced those who have. As thin as my memory banks are now ( think swiss cheeze) I do recall that much lol. Course they're meant to be kicked with a UV light which is quick and also toughens the surface.
