Hey guys I am just wondering what the correct ratio of paint to thinner is for model master enamel paint

from the website:

MODEL MASTER TESTOR ENAMEL PAINT:

Gloss; 3 parts paint to 2 parts thinner.

Flat; 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner,

Air pressure setting should be around 20-25 PSI.

Enamels require 48 hours for a full cure.

Thinner: - all Enamel solvents

I use a 2 to 1 ratio , 2 parts paint to 1 part cheap laquer thinner . Never a problem .

Thanks guys!

would the ratios be the same for metallizer?

[scalenut]

the metalizers are real thin , no reduction necessary also spray at low pressure around 15 psi

Thanks andy , you are the model car encyclopedia!

Hahaha not hardly , I use model master paints and metalizers a lot.. They are the main paint I use most of the time so I'm well used to them

do i have to use sealer on the metallizers? , if so could i use any sealer i want?

[scalenut]

I've never used it my self , the finishes seem to hold up fine without it.

I only do smaller parts , compared to using it on large surfaces like a body , in that case the sealer might be needed.

as long as the sealer is compatible with the lacquer's it should work fine.

Future is a good option
