Rust-Oleum won't give me straight answers to my questions about Testors enamel weights.

Reminds me of a springer episode…..lol

Does anyone want to guess the title of his next post?

My guess is:

"What is the best way to remove paint from a Peterbilt I painted badly"?

Members will tell him it's been discussed on the forum and post the link but he will ignore it. Probably go to YouTube to see what works best there then send an email to whatever company he plans to purchase from an extensive list of questions they won't be able to answer. Just a hunch.

That's the problem.

 

Whether you asked for advice on this thread or not, you did on your other threads, and you've completely shrugged off any help that anyone has offered.

You've burned all of your bridges of good intentions with your flippant attitude towards other members of this forum.

We were all trying to help in the beginning, but you quickly lost the support of a lot of really great modelers with your glib attitude.

I hope that you have it all figured out, because in the future, you're going to get the same reactions that you've been getting because you've squandered any good will that you might have been able to gain in the beginning.

 

It's all on you dude.

I’ll take “Super Clean Won’t Give Me Answers To My Questions” for 200 Alex.

This would require him to actually accomplish something and I don't think he has enough "information" for that yet. The next post is probably going to be about the specific gravity of various types of thinner or evaporation rates at different humidities and altitudes. 

[Bucky]

I'm holding out for the, "Where is the Best Place to Offer an Expensive Kit with a Botched Paint Job for Trade?" thread.

[4mula1fan]

He won't be able to handle the glue vapors if he's that sensitive to smells and chemicals. He'll be a snap modeler, if any at all.

Oh, okay, I'll grudgingly grant you a few Good Will Points for quoting The Animals.

You might be right Brian. I may have jumped the gun thinking he may try to paint. LOL

1. Yes, before you edited it you did ask for advice

2. Don't trash a great song.

But I could have made the bird smaller with my 12 gauge............with reloaded shells of course.

But do you understand the specific gravity of each type of gun powder? Do you know the specific weight of each grain? Do you know what brand of shot you are using and account for any imperfect pieces?

[DRIPTROIT 71]

It’s pretty clear that I have been doing it wrong. I need to get a Postal Scale.

Question: Do I need to weigh my models before and after paint to make sure that I have the proper amount of coverage comparing the results to the weight of my paint??

Only if you're going to mail them.

[OldNYJim]

If you're mailing them, make sure not to wax the paint or the stamps will fall off

I don't know how to get stuff to "milky consistency". It's not something measurable. It's not something one can hold a steel ruler to. I lack that skill. I believe in pursuing consistency in one's workmanship through accurate weights and measures, data recording, lab testing and numbers crunching. I'm a former automobile mechanic by trade. I had torque wrench's, hole gauges, thickness gauges, dial indicators, steel rulers and shop manuals with printed data in them to work with. Painting is pure physics, algebra, meteorology and chemistry.

My world man are you not just going a bit overboard? Have you ever even built a model? What your trying to do is just impossible, lets say you have all the weights and measurements you need to apply a perfect paint job, NOW comes the assembly, yes, gotta break out the glue, ever used glue? Its a messy substance that can ruin a perfect paint job in a second!! Did you just pick your nose, oh no, now there's snot residue on that perfect paint.....etc.. etc...etc....

Just build the dang model and quit being so friggin anal!!!!

[Mark]

And, don't anybody tell him that, no matter how thin a coat of paint is laid on, that it won't be scale thickness...

[SfanGoch]

Can I get a refund or possibly sue you for destroying my long-held, but entirely incorrect, belief that this was true? If it's all the same with you, I prefer a lawsuit since I can squeeze much more mazuma out of you in an out of court settlement than I'd get from a crummy refund.
