alclad black primer question.

[sak]

Has anybody had to thin the black alclad primer? This paint seems to dry fast over time. To a point where I cannot airbrush it at 15 psi like it sudgests. I am really not sure what it is. It says it is a lacqour , but it seems to behave more like an enamel. So what would I use lacqour thinner or mineral spirits?

I have never had to thin it. I have had some clumping issues of not shaken well enough though.

I believe it is an enamel - Alclad Laqcuer is just in the name.

The fact that you say it dries fast would indicate it is a Laqcuer based product enamels usually dry in days to weeks sometimes before drying I would recommend using the Laqcuer based for thinning

When I say it dries fast..I mean that a skin should not develope in a sealed bottle in less than a few months. When it is applied however..it still stays tacky for days it seems. I really need to find a decent gloss black enamel in a big can. But I can't tell if something is pure enamel. Some cans say enamel but I have read that they are actually acrylic enamel.

I bought some alclad,but havent used it yet.Ive talked to people about it and I understand it works better over tacky paint.Maybe thats why it takes forever to dry?

If you added any enamel reducer to it, either intentional or not, it can skin very quickly.
