Dupont for paint

DuPont Velvaseal for primer and Lucite for base coat and Chromaclear for top coat.

I am a PPG DBC & OMNI Base Coats,

House of Kolor Base Coats.

& PPG's Concept Urathane clear Type of guy.

nason urethane for primer, paint anything as long as the clear is Matrix Urethane

[SuperStockAndy]

Hmmmm... Tamiya and Model Master.

As I am not set up for airbrushing right now I like to stick with dupli-color and plasti-kote spray cans, and the occasional testor's one coat

I use what ever suits my fancy at the time. Use duplicolor for primer on all projects though. I just shot an eurothane over some HOK which wasshot over a basecoat of duplicolor. Only paint i have not liked is the Tamiya paintsHad better luck with Testors enamels than i ever did with the Tamiya paints.

Du Pont for every thing!

Will be using BASF for one project that is being built now.

[Tonioseven]

Scalefinishes first, then fingernail polish.

[Dr. Cranky]

I agree, I don't have a particular favorite, but I do return to consistent good results using Vallejo, Tamiya, Floquil, House of Kolor, Auto Air . . .

Always use the same primer: PLASTIKOTE

Always use the same clear: DuPont Acrylic Spot Clear.

Tamiya Lacquer is my first choice every time. Out of the rattle can it produces a very clean spray but is also easy to decant and then can be used through the airbrush. Their Fine White Primer is also my first choice in that department.

I'd like to try some of the specialty paints such as MCW etc but they can't be obtained in my part of Canada.
