i'm going to paint body red.
i have to move up to Krylon for tan interior paint.
i might say the heck with it and paint interior
white or black.
let me look at it and picture those colors.
ive never had a problem with it, i too only use (usually) the grey primer, black, and white. did a car with the gloss red and clear coat that turned out pretty good. the primer (after a few days for drying...the primer seems to dry pretty slow in my experience) responds pretty well to sanding too.

it was no hobby stuff trip to walmart wednsday
will look over ALL paints for tan next time
did check my Testor's at home
all there is is FLAT tan. no thanks.
Walmart added groceries to their new, improved stores.
Guess I'm gonna copy Shellback and pick up some fries, sour cream, butter , chives, onions, bacon, SPAM, eggs, SPAM, SPAM and English muffins.
Oh, yes.
Primer, too!
Thanks to all for this interesting thread.
Didnt bother me but if it bothers you ...................ok .
old habit of mine from traveling for 5 years about 3 years ago.
asking about places.
came to my senses today. i think i'll knock it off.
had to run through walmart like a kook today.
BUT took a glance at Krylon.
i think i will fallback to painting interior gloss TAN.
sure i have can of colorplace gloss white but
i can use that up on a white car body. well some of it.

The wheat grown here in the Palouse feeds about half the world . Its dry farming here and the average is about 80 bushels per acre . Most of the wheat is shipped from Lewiston , Idaho by barge down the Snake , columbia rivers to the Portland , Oregon and then loaded onto ships to be hauled off world wide .I've seeenthe demand for our wheat go up considerably since the droughts in Russia and Kansas . From $3 a bushel to over $ 11 a bushell , around $900 to $1000 an acre . Google , maps , sattelite , Tekoa , Washington , U.S.A. . That will give you an idea of the local area . Its 95 % cultivated for farming . About 800 to 1000 people in this town .
I dont farm but i've lived here since 1977 so the local sorce of income rubbs off on me . No tractor .

wheat? deals off for the ultimate soldier tanks!
what's anybody going to do with wheat?
'Bodenfräse'
german for rototiller an early 2 wheel tractor.
you got one?
will crack down and paint another part!
Plenty of tractors ........and wheat . Better get to Walmart b4 they run out of gloss black .
how about a tractor? i'm building a two wheel one with a wagon to tow behind.
yeah. i had zero time to get gloss black at wal thursday.
should happen one of these trips.
No spuds grown here .
brad
i remembered to do one thing right when painting the frame.
when i was done i turned can upside down and
sprayed until it sprayed air only.
try that.
store bought spuds?
what happened to all the ones from your harvest ?
Gotta go to Walmart next week . Pick up a bag of taters and some gloss black .
Cadet Chuck What bothers me about this subject is, why go cheap on paint when you have invested quite a few bucks in a nice model? Saving a buck or two doesn't make sense to me, when you can get good quality model paints that you know will be successful. A little goes a long way and can be used for many models to come, and the savings per model is neglible with questionable paint.

If you mean "cheap" in the sense of "shoddy" or "poor quality", I must respectfully disagree. I use Walmart's primers, and am very happy with them. I've used the light and dark grays, and the rust-colored primer, each according to what the final subject's colors should be. They cover well, not too thick--like Rustoleum does, in my experience--and they go much farther than primers made by the model supply manufacturers. I say they're frugal rather than cheap, that is, your money goes a little farther.
I use them on plastic, metal and resin, too, with no ill effects.
I did have a can get clogged, but I've had that happen with other brands of spray paint, too.
In the end, we each will use what we like and are comfortable with, of course. As long as you're all happy with your results, then, well chosen!
Best regards,
Brad

in plans.
i'll think out my next spray paint session.

Are you painting the interior of the 55 vette white ? Bright red body would look good with that .

I did try their Royal Blue #25001 I had left from a house project on a cheapo Testors 1/72 F-4U from Michaels. 3 days later the paint was still tacky.
a little bit of i was checking for myself too.
i need gloss tan for interior.
lame color, but i figure start with a basic.
if i get can it's just going to sit there after i'm done corvette.
i guess there is something to be said for air brushes.
remember to eat your 4 potatoes today.
Thanks for the research and info . Good luck with the paints .
i looked at home depot paints online.
house brand 'painters choice' or something was
$3.50 so it's equal to walmart krylon.
when you go to store they might have $1-1.50 brands or type.
painting with color place spraying cans is working
out very good.
I build mostly armor so those are armor type Group Build badges that i have participated in my signature .I'll look at the selection of paints at Home Depot next time i'm there . Thanks for the offer . Potato's are expensive to mail .................LOL !
