jigmeister Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I just got an order from Lurecraft with their special paint for soft plastics . I bought the paint and a bottle of thinner thinking I could thin the paint as needed for spraying with an air brush only to find out After reading the paint bottle it says to use retarder when spraying with an air brush . My air brush is a cheapo single action external mix job so I am wondering if I will need the retarder ? Anybody got experience with this paint that could clue me in ? Thanks , jigmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Yes, you'll need the retarder, or it will come out in strings. Also, buy more thinner than you think you'll need, I've heard a lot of people claim that MEK or something will clean it up, it will NOT. I've tried laquer thinner, MEK, turpentime, and mineral spirits, and none of it works, save for the stuff they sell. I'm sure it can be bought somewhere else, I just do not know what it is. The stuff dries out pretty quickly too, you can revive it with thinner a few times, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
