fastbackfiero Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi everyone! I'm about to do the body on the carbon fxx from scale motorsport and I need some help. I bought model master primer, black lacquer, and ultra gloss clearcoat (also lacquer). Are the carbon decals compatable with these paints? I dont have good, quick access to tamiya paints and I dont airbrush. These were the best I could get. Thanks, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Is the model master primer enamel? If so, don't use it under the Lacquer. When in doubt,test on something. Also,don't "settle" for just what you can find. There must be an automotive type paint & body supply locally,or at least explore the usual big box auto stores like autozone,Pep Boys etc.Get some Plasticote or Dupli-color primer, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three cans are lacquer. Everytime ive ever messed with something for automotive, its gone....bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'd ask Mathew at SMS. Short of that, if there is any extra film on the decal sheet,apply it as you will on the car and test. You can also apply the decals and a coat of Future to protect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
