Chromate Yellow --- Help

Thanks for all the advice. I did try the acrylic version and that was better. I was using a silver primer. Adding a white-yellow over the silver also helped. I didn't realize that enamels needed longer to dry. Switching to the acrylic really helped here...it did dry faster. Thanks for all the advice. Next time my F3F won't lose all it's detail.

Sounds like you're trying to spray the gloss version ("...seems to be very sticky"). Try the flat and then clear gloss or Future it. Flats by their nature seem to spray easier, adhere better, and cover in fewer coats than their gloss counterparts.

Testors Also makes that color.

also try sitting the paint in warm water :)

Is this a constant problem or your first time with this particular color?? if it is a one time thing then get a new bottle. If it is constant try over coating the part first with some white or white and yellow mixed for a pale basecoat.

Try shaking and stirring the bottle really thoroughly before you spray (it seems obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people don't do it enough. I know I don't half of the time). If you've already done that or it doesn't work, try putting it on in multiple thin layers. You don't have to get full coverage the first time you spray or brush on a coat.

And the final tip is to let everything dry very well before touching it or painting over it. Enamels take a bit longer than acrylics to cure so leave it overnight between coats or before handling.

I probably sound like Mr. Obvious here, you've probably done all of this already. But, that's all the advice I've got at this point in time.

hope it helps.

Have you tried the MM Acryl in that color?
It sprays nice.
