testors laquer dull coat
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 28, 2004 6:26 PM
Can anyone give me an idea of a good ratio of laquer dull coat to laquer thinner. I will be air brushing this with my Aztek A470.

thanks,

It really depends on your AB & compressor set up. I never thinned it more than 2 Dull Cote to 1 thinner. Sprayed between 15-20 psi with a Paasche H3. Don't use it anymore, having fell in love with Polly Scale flat.

Thanks Rick. I've used this before but I mixed up a big batch and once it ran out I forgot the ratio. I'll have to try the polyscale flat. Is that acrylic? I use their acrylics almost exclusively and have had great results.

thanks again,

I use it straight from the spray can---both from the can to the model, and from the can to the color cup of my airbrush (Spraying through a straw or applicator--like you get with WD-40) helps keep down overspray and wasted material. Don't have to worry about thinners, ratios, or anything else.

mahoney, Polly Scale flat is an acrylic & the best flat finish I've ever used.
