Default RE: Customizing monokote/ultracote looks (ie painting on/detailing) Hangar 9 Spitfire


ORIGINAL: Spitfire13

Ok, so after being disappointed with my local Lowes selection, I've looked online, and it looks like the clear Matte Rustoleum is oil based. Is this a problem??? And how glossy is the Crystal Clear? Iis it alright to use their oils with latex and enamel? (ie, could I paint one color with an enamel, another with a latex color, and clear coat it with the oil based clear???) Thanks again for the help!

Spitfire13, every time I've mixed paint types and manufacturers, I've ended up with blistered or dissolved paint. The Crystal Clear, as i recall, is a matt finish so it shouldn't be too shiney. Check the label though.

Where in TX are you? I grew up in Dallas back in the 50's. Still have some family in N. Dallas and Wylie.
