Default Latex paint for scale models

Yes, I'm sure that you're correct on this. I just went to go back and look at my offending paint combinations. The first coat was acrylic enamel from the hardware store. The second coat was Top Flite's LustreCoat...I figured that they both had the same base. In the future, I guess I'll do the hardware store thing totally, instead of trying to use the hobby store paints. I noticed another thing when I read over your post again. I'm amazed that you actually mix in corn starch. My airbrush, I'm certain, would immediately become clogged up. BUT, I seem to have gleened that you use a much heavier duty spray system when you mentioned the word "spray gun" and gravity feed (even though a number of airbrushes are gravity feed). Anyway, thanks for the tips. I'm going to try and utilize them in the future.
