SNJ Aluminum

Hello;

I just ordered some SNJ Aluminum paint and was wondering what others had to say about this product. I am folowing the online build for the AM F3F-1 and he used the MM metalzer Aluminum. I have heard problems with MM metalizer rubing off. Any thoughts.

I bought a couple bottles a bit ago, aluminum and something else, can’t remember right this moment. I was a little less than impressed. It sprayed really thin, with very little coverage. Granted, it was just a few test sprays, but it took me multiple coats, and letting it dry between, to get a decent metallic coat. I will revisit it soon, just to say I did not give up too easily, but first impressions were not favorable.

I did recently try Vallejo’s Model Air Aluminum. It’s a bit thick right out of the bottle, and I generally don’t thin model air paint. I cut it about 3:1 paint to Future, and it shot like a dream! Great coverage, flowed well through my Badger 100LG. When I tackle a metal finish, I think it’ll be vallejo for me all the way!
