Has anyone used this paint? I've just tried using it for the Interior white in my M109 but cant seem to get the ratio of thinner to paint right. At my standard 60/40 it clogs up the tips. when I add more thinner it comes out runny and doesn't cover. any help appreciated.

Josh,
I have seen this paint in my local hobby shops, but haven't tried it. Is it a lacquer based paint? I know the R/C car guys use it.
Perhaps someone on this site also build R/C cars. They may have some info.
If you don't get an answer, try the Google newsgroups. I think "rec.models.rc.land"

Don't know much about its make up, but yeah bought it at a mostly RC place. Took the guys word

Hmmm, I believe polycarbonate paint is standard paint with a 'flex' agent added. I could be wrong (probably am).

Tread.

If it does have something added to make it "flex". The black could be used on Italeri track....

Posted on Tamiya America:
TAMIYA COLOR SPRAY FOR POLYCARBONATE (PS)

These spray paints were developed especially for decorating transparent polycarbonate bodies used in R/C car modeling. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is the appropriate amount for finishing the model. Paint the body from the inside, keeping the can about 30cm from the surface. After curing, apply another coat. Small details should be brush painted beforehand, using Tamiya bottle paints for polycarbonate. These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gaspowered R/C bodies. *Never use these paints on plastic models.

I'm not sure if this is the paint you bought since you said something about thinner ratios.

I remember trying it many moons ago..........I tried the stuff out of a spray can & had goog luck. The stuff in the bottle...I'm not sure of as I never needed to try it.
