It sprays ok when i'm doing base level stuff but getting into the molding is where the problems start.
I got Alclad Aqua clear on tonight, let that cure and start weathering this weekend.

Well Bob I'll share a bit of a secret with you. All color pigments are of different size . Apparently white is a bad size for you .
Have you tried another white paint ? I always thought that Humbrol had the finest of pigments.

Only tried AK red, orange and yellow clear - for the cars I wanted to fix, old builds that I never finished. Very happy with the result, used a brush, perfect. Never tried anything else AK, sorry mate.

I haven't had trouble with white but I'm sure Laurence appreciates your suggestion. :tomato

Ian - I've used a few of the AK paints and been using a lot of the Ammo by MIG paints, which I believe are the same as the AK paints since Mig Jimenez was one of the founders of AK, before being forced out (at least that's the story Mig tells). Some of the colors i question the accuracy of, but the key to these paints is to thin them about 50/50 and spray thin layers not trying to completely cover in one pass. I've had good luck so far. If you are referring to the AK Real Color line, i have bought a few but haven't used them yet. They are supposed to behave like Tamiya paints.
Sorry to hi-jack Bob. The G-6 is coming along great!

Ditto Bob, sorry to hijack. I have never had any luck with AK Interactive. Never tried the the Real colour though just because of my experiences.

Brilliant idea for the 'jig' Bob! Way to go!
She's up on her legs with a clear coat and a dark wash in the panel lines.
I put a flat coat on this evening and letting that cure in. Will do a neutral wash overall.
