Sprue Brothers carries the full MRP line. Also a little pricey, but no more so than Alclad, and the amount of time and BS they save you when painting is well worth the extra money.
Quick update…I waited another 10 days but the paint was still sticky so I gave up and stripped the paint off…ugh, what a hassle.
I wanted a real metal look but some modeler friends of mine said it’s difficult to get that look using acrylics…nothing against MRP and others.
They recommended JumpWind Prime Metal paint. Just to be sure I read some online reviews and watched some videos before committing.
It’s a lacquer-based paint so I had to wear a respirator. It sprayed on smooth as butter, dried very quickly and has a high metallic sheen.
There could have been several different factors why the AK XTreme Metal paint wouldn’t dry but I’m very happy with the results of this JumpWind Prime Metal paint.
Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions and tips!!
I may be misunderstanding your post, but MRP isn’t acrylic, it’s a lacquer. [H]
Oh sorry, my mistake…someone told me it was acrylic and recommended Jumpwind.
No problem. Glad the Jumpwind worked so well for you. Finding products that work that well is a very good thing. [:D]
I’ve never heard of Jumpwind but am glad it works for you.
