Gret is what you get when you try to type grey and the feline editorial assistant decides to stick his nose in.....to your typing.

Gret is a very light coat that must dry thoroughly, before one regrets it!....

What castrated sheep have to with painting I don't know, "Another sheep, the bellwether, leads the others. Traditionally this was a castrated Ram (or wether) with a bell hung off a string around its neck.", from wikipedia.

But for white paint I prime with a very light gret then mist on 4 or 5 coats of flat white with an airbrush.

Well, Ron how many times have I posted here as an "anonymous sniper"?

In fact, I'd have to go back to my very earliest posts after joining, to recall even the possibility that I'd not signed-in with my ID name.
It seems some of us at this site (no names mentioned), still manage to drop in with the (ahem...) "Guest" identifier.

Hey, now that's not fair!

I deliberately left my photograph OUT of my posts!!

Ron, I agree with you, I cringed when I saw Dan's post.

Cheers,

Actually I'm objecting to a pointless RANT inserted into a thread that was going reasonably well. I'm not real keen on netiquette cops where no malicious intent was meant by any of the parties in a thread......but hammer trolls and anonymous snipers all you like since their intent is malicious by definition.

Oh, okay, I get it now---The word "why" is VERY descriptive, you're right, so sorry, obviously it was just my foolish mistake! The topic being discussed is SO clearly indicated by the header line! I don't know why it wasn't clear as day to me. Why, I must have been referring to another post, entirely!

The next time I see a subject header with the single word, "Why?", I will IMMEDIATELY know right away, that it refers to paint color, adhesion, coverage, etc. Why would I think otherwise? Thanks for the reply, Ron....oops! well, time's short and I gotta go now, I have to mask and spray-why the lower hull of my destroyer model.

P.S.: I'm using a brand-new jar of why, in a hull red I just got last month...I'll let you all know the results in a separate post! It'll be titled "Why!"instead of "Why?", so everyone will know exactly what my post is about.

Alrighty then, Dan =)

It's just that I had thought your first post in this thread was aimed at DBC, who posted the title.

by **klein loewietje** » Wed Aug 16, 2006 5:40 pm

Dan, if I'm not mistaken, this treat was posted about 12 hours before your 'don't you just'- post....

Sorry, couldn't resist!!

Well, to be honest, my original post here was just in fun, even IF I was the only one "laughing". I had just yesterday (I thought?), nailed-up a more serious post on this very issue (subject/header relevance); and here I am already, only hours afterward, stumbling across yet another one! Hence, my "friendly reminder" of today.

Evidently, nobody "got it", but my reply to Ron's contention that this thread was...

a) relevant, and

b) on-topic until I posted,

....was clearly not aimed at the "new guy", Timmy.

Everybody take a happy pill and call me on September 31st if not feeling better!

Meanwhile, I'm learning all about the whys and wherefores, so please---carry on!

Best way to do white is to only use spray(cans). Tamiya ultra fine white primer and Tamiya flat spray white laquer is all you need. Two mist coats of primer, one finish coat of matte white. The laquer based paints cover well, dry extremely fast, and are nearly impervious to any chemicals, washes, or decal solovents. Every white bottle paint is too tempermental to waste your time with them, and often take weeks to fully cure. Don't waste your time. I can get black plastic perfectly white and dry in 20 minutes including all three coats with the spray. Being laquer it also is compatible with every other type of paint. I've had the two cans of spray for about 10 different model's radomes, landing gear, armament, etc. White spray enamel like Model Master's or regular Testors is NOT the same thing and has the same problems as bottle paints.
