Hello all,
I am in the process of picking my colors for the upcoming model build. I am going to use MM acrylics for the most part but there are a couple of colors that match best with one of the MM lacquer metalizer line of paints.
I haven't used acrylics hence this question: If I have some parts/areas sprayed with a lacquer finish and the others with acrylic colors....Can I clear the entire model with an acrylic clear? Will the acrylic clear 'stick' to the lacquer on the parts painted with the lacquer?
Thanks....this learning curve keeps running me over!
UPDATE:Okay....I called Testors. I didn't know it but they're part of RustOleum...but that's a side story...
Anyhow, the answer to my question, for anyone who might be interested, is NO and YES. You can not apply a clear acrylic over the metalizer paint. The work around is this; overspray the metalizer with the sealer for metalizer paints THEN you can clear the sealer with an acrylic clear.....
Learn something new every day! This lesson leads to a lot of extra spraying though.....
