You have to thin it down. I use a ratio of 1 part paint to 3 parts thinner.

There is no lubricity. Please ONLY apply to a very clean surface...use detailer to remove all dust or you will scratch the paint.

I have used this product on painted surfaces but I let the paint cure for about a week before I applied the coating. It took 4 coats to achieve the wanted finish. It is a very thin coating so I didn't see the need to sand between coats.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

Make sure you have a good ground! You can't put it on a painted surface! Hope this helps.

No you have to have a spray gun.. Remember it's lacquer paint and it doesn't harden i sanded mine completely off and used a urethane paint like i should have in the first place. This was a waste of money.. Go to The Coating Store.com

I doubt you'd like the results! The sprayer puts out a rather uneven (for painting) spray and has a limited range of spray patterns which are are simply controlled by the nozzle. I'd recommend an inexpensive paint sprayer. It's also designed to work with a very thin liquid.

Ofcos u need to paint more because of a big scale model. But if u wish not to paint it, it still looks ok. Color separation is really detail & accurate compare to 1/144

In my case , the tips of the legs and the small trees were coming off the walls within a few hours. The rest of the decal is sticking fine but it's only been a few days since I put it up . No, it does not peel the paint.

I waited a couple of hours between coats. I did very thin coats. I found this paint dried in a similar fashion to others. It wasn't significantly longer For drying time in my experience

You will need to go slowly to let the compressor catch-up with the gun. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, pick up a digital air regulator that attaches at the air inlet of the gun. When you set the gun preasure to the paint manufactures specification, have the trigger of the gun wide open and adjust while air is running through the gun. I use the digital regulator to make sure my setting is correct. That's more info than you asked for but these were issues when I used the gun. Good luck

Use the smaller nozzle and lower the pressure and it lays a smooth coat. I haven't been able to add two colors together yet but I'm working on it. hopes this helps

No, it's smooth, but you do have to let the paint spray out for a few seconds first to get a smooth finish. I used it to spray furniture too and it was very smooth and even coverage. I used paint that had the primer build right in and it worked GREAT!

I agree that it is really lightweight painted/coated. I would not leave it outside. I would look for another product if I were you.

My experience on this has been that it is a very tight fit between the paint cup and the paint head. it is not easy to grab the bottom of the cup, it's so very smooth. It does have flat ridges but it still is very tight hard to grip. I suggest you remove the powerhead and then with the paint cup between your feet, turn the paint head counterclockwise, you will have a better grip with your feet if its that tight. .When you get the paint head off, double check to see that you don't have paint up on the treads inside and out. You may want to put a light coating of Vaseline on the threads inside and out, then screw it on and off a couple of times to spread the vaseline. This may help.

Hi Jenny. I wish I could give you a positive answer but there are so many variables when spraying over a painted surface. The best I can offer is that I feel pretty confident that it would work (but no guarantee). My suggestion would be to spray several coats of the spray and it should certainly dull the surface. The product dries quickly, usually within a few minutes so you can respray without too much waiting. Best regards, Harve E.

it has consistency of thick paint, the idea is to get it in the crack as much as possible. If it beads above the crack then it will dry with that bead there, the floor will not be perfectly smooth. I tried with hair dryer to get as much as possible in the small crack, then wiped up the access. It came out ok. If it was thinner, it would work better. Hope that helps.
