Hi Greg, Outstanding paint and decal work

Glad I have some company finishing up today
Hope you feel better soon,
Randy

Hey thanks, Randy.
The paint i used is White Ensign Models "Colorcoats" They are a British company, imported here by MidTenn Hobbies. Yes they are enamel, and I used mineral spirits as a thinner. I over thinned it the first time I sprayed, and had to remix a little more paint in the cup. That helped a good deal. They are already thin so be careful I you try some. I'm going to try it un thinned the next time I use it which will be soon....
The stuff drys in about 6 hours and is satiny smooth and really seems to grab the plastic. When I masked off for the black on the leading edges I used Tamiya tape and 3M painters tape and it held up against both. I may start using it more often as their supplier is next day close when I order from them. Hope this helps.
