Hello,

I have some problems with my MIG colours, how you can see on the added photo:

Does anybody have a solution for the problem? The model was cleaned before using the MIG colours. Here you can see the primer. The result with the colours is the same!!! Thinner was not used. Furthermore when I apply MIG colours on already dried colours the result is the same, too.

Thanks in advance,

best wishes!

I would wipe everything down with Tamiya lacquer thinner and retry . Mr color would work too . At least you would be sure there's nothing on the model surface . I should of asked is the Mig acrylic or enamel ?

Air you applying with an airbrush? Do you have a moisture trap on your compressor? Looks to be water in the air supply.

Hello,

Thank you for your help and sorry for my late answer!!!!

I have moisture trap on my compressor and other colours worked.

I tried differnt thinners and the solution was the Gunze thinner Mr. Hobby (the dark blue bottle)

Hello,

sorry but the Gunze color names can be confusing: For this reason a link : http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Farben/Gunze_Sangyo/T-102_Mr_Color_Thinner_110_110_ml_i473_38827_0.htm


Mr. color thinner is the correct name!!! I can post a photo of the applied color mixed with the thinner!


Cheers
