stumpjumper16 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm looking for some suggestions on the best chartreuse lacquer that any of you guys use. The Lifetone bright yellow finishes baits in a school bus yellow color. I've tried the dick nite glow yellow which gets the right color but shoots out in a manner that makes the finish look clumped. Any help would be appreciated on other paints or airbrush shooting tips would be a great help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Maybe adding some green to the Lifetone bright yellow will give you a chartreuse. That's how I do it with waterbased Createx paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Look at house of kolor paints, several guys here used that paint back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Flo yellow createx is what I use. The green at the head is flo green, spray that over the yellow in a light coat for a green chartreuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 More flo yellow over white base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Not sure why you want laquer but water bases Createx flor yellow is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try the createx or house of color, but unsure of how acrylic based paint would react with Lifetone lacquer for some of my color schemes which are very basic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 You can't mix lacquer and water based paint to achieve different colors, because they are different solvent based. You can't spray lacquer over enamel or other solvent based paints, because the lacquer will dissolve them. But you can spray water based paints over lacquer paint, and vice versa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
