I have recently finished building and painting a 72nd Spitfire and the top coat i applied has reacted with the finished paintwork. Can someone please help!
I have used the Tamiya range of spray paints to provide the camouflage colours - AS10 (Ocean grey) underneath with AS11 (Medium sea grey) and AS30 (Dark Green) on the top surfaces. I then applied Long Life Floor Polish (similar to future polish) before and after application of the decals, covering the whole model. I then applied TS79 (semi gloss clear) as the final coat, but it reacted with the AS11 in some areas, turning the finish an off white, faded look.
Why did this happen? I thought the Tamiya spray range would compliment each other or are they incompatible (maybe the AS and TS range cannot be used together). Wouldnt the polish protect the paint underneath? I did notice that the propellor that I panted black (TS6) also reacted badly in the same way.
Also I use Long Life as I cannot source Future in Australia. Is there anywhere on the internet that sells Future?
Can anyone help?
