2K Paint Article

[George Bojaciuk]

Back in 2017, I wrote a column on using 2K paints safely. On another forum, I offered to send members the column with an addendum showing my upgrades.

If anyone here would like me to forward that column to you, send me your email. My contact is: gbojaciuk@comcast.net.

the products are out there and I just want to be sure you use them safely.

Just stumbled across this post:  I have been painting since about 1968, strictly 'shadetree' >haha< but have gotten to know 1/1 finished pretty well.  My M.A. project in art was air-sprayed paint on sculptures, mostly.  And, then I worked at a PPG store as a retirement job; so I have lot's of 'mis-match' colors (too many!) and some experience.  I'd be glad to see your column/addendum George, can I PM you my address?  I had to change from the old one; got hacked! 

I've only had problems once using 1/1 auto colors on styrene (well primere, oc) and I think it was lacquer materials.  I like them, but there are rules, as with any system.  I gave up aerosols a long time ago, but tried Krlylon yellow and UPOL clear on a recent build (an annual '62 T-Bird Syline kit that I began back when!) and was pretty happy with the result.  People in mags and shows are very picky about out-of-scale clear depth, so you have to get it with one coat, usually.  I have a few kits, compared to most (40-50) built over 60-years or so; a couple I just polished the styrene with toothpaste, and one AMT Deuce coupe I did in '61 with liquid shoe polish!

Thanks for the info.  Wick
