Default RE: Automotive paint


ORIGINAL: bigtim
having used toxic materials for many years I have almost totally switched to using water clean up paints www.warbirdcolors.com paints are catalized urathanes, water clean up and vurtually no odor to speak of,great coverage with a small amount of paint, 8 drops of catalyst per oz. of paint and its fuel proof, I use it on all of my painted planes now.
Great information, Thanks!

I commented earlier because I've used Solartex in the past and added a lot of weight to a model vis á vis using doped nylon. BUT it does go on really nicely, shrinks well and is fuelproof whilst being strong. I've never had a Solartex structure go slack after shrinking either. It'll be interesting to see this model painted!
