styromaniac Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Needed to finish a '27 T Resin Body that required corrective work after the stuff decanted from a rattle can (that leaked) created a pitted finish. I know its probably an extinct variety...but maybe someone has some left in a can they would like to deal? The equivalent PurpleLicious color doesnt work...nor does Plum Crazy.

SpeedShift Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Thanks for posting...this is the paint, Testors Model Master Custom Lacquer Ultraviolet Pearl 1996 (50305) Unfortunately discontinued. A really nice rich violet blue color...nicer (IMHO) than the current purples in the current Rust-Oleum/Testors line (Purplelicious) or MCW (Plum Crazy), which are a bit too silver grey in hue. BTW: Note the can seam failure at the bottom, not sure if that had anything to do with the frothing and excessive bubbling when sprayed from the rattle can. Decanting and letting the bubbles gas off in a jar before airbrushing helped to get a better result. Edited May 11 by SpeedShift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I had a lot of Model Masters paint do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here...not sure if the can was over pressurized, poor QC on the can seam, or temperature variation (although the cans were in my office/man cave in the house - not the garage, attic or basement).

ewetwo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Mine were all in a heated basement studio. I'm thinking bad seam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a partial can (very little in it) in pretty sorry shape. You're welcome to it. May be enough to decant and airbrush. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
