rayu1988 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I found a brand of paint at Walmart today that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for a french curve in the crafts/school supplies section, and found a new display for Apple Barrel paints. Permant-Fast Drying-Waterbase Acrylic according to the label. 57 cents for 2 oz, with much larger bottles for 1.25. Just used Pavement color for the centercaps to a set of Mopar Rallyes, and besdies going on dullcoat, looks good. Brushed it on over Krylon classic grey with no ill efects so far. Being waterbased, I don't really expect any. Literally hundreds of colors including metallics. I plan to pick up a few every week. Hope this helps somebody. It took over a month to find the classic Testors bottle of semi-gloss black, and I think it was 1.75. If this works out I won't need those anymore!
cchapman195 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I use this a lot on interiors. With it going on flat I use different clears ( Satin,gloss, high gloss) to accent different features and add depth. Great find there bud.
rayu1988 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Cool. I figured I was not the first guy to find this stuff, but I would hate for anybody to miss out for the simple lack of a post.
cruz Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 What do you guys use to thin this paint if you were to use it in an airbrush?
cchapman195 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I have never used it in an airbrush but distilled water is what I would use to thin it since its a water based paint
Draggon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 91% Isopropal alchohol is recommended, but some people prefer windex, future, and even acetone.
