I hope that in the six years after this was posted that he figured it out…
Yes I bought a new Iwata brush and it solved a lot of issues
John, I gotta say you are my kind of forum member.
It ruffles my feathers when O.P.'s ask a question then either disappears or worse, responds in a fashion to ignore most every poster who tried to offer help. So rude.
And here you are replying 6 yrs later or whatever… You get the biggest ‘atta-boy’ ever from me. [:D[ [:D]
I wasn’t going to respond except you had. I am sure he meant well but just didn’t see the date of the posting.
One of the problems is that Testors keeps changing the way they label aluminum. It used to be gloss at one point- the current just-plain-aluminum is flat. Flats dry a lot faster, so you need to put them on appropriate for a flat paint- make sure you see the beginning of a sheen or flash, else it may be a bit rough.
