I have been trying to duplicate the 3 color camouflage (beige, brown & dark brown) of the F-18 Aggressor, but cannot seem to get the Model master paint to cooperate (it could be old but never opened). I was told to thin it with Tamiya thinner 1 pts thinner to 3 pts paint.
I am in Chicago and it has been quite cold.
What should the temperature be in the painting area? (Basement is not finished or insulated) What are my options?
It’s not really possible to give you fair piece of advice by such a vague appraisal of your problem…how exactly is the paint “not cooperating”!!! If it is old, it may be degraded to the point of unusable. Have you washed and primed the model? You may have finger oils or other yuck on it. The temp of the paint–as long as your in reasonable room temps shouldn’t really give you problems. Give us more details JDMR, and we’ll be able to help you better!
