that's the thing, the bottle doesn't have that but it does have "flammable" "harmful vapors" yada, yada. So i'm inclined to think it's a laquer.

I'm not familiar with the paint, but from your description of the reaction to lacquer thinner, I'd guess it's an acrylic. The label on the paint bottle should give you a clue as to the type of paint. If it says water clean up, it's definitely an acrylic.

touch up paint
Posted by bubbalicious on Sunday, July 10, 2005 11:52 AM
can u use wal-mart touch up paint as the main color? it seems to be the right consistency but will it be harmful to styrene?
I tested a little white the other day; i had not cleaned the color cup so there was a little bit of testors white thinned with laquer thinner in the bottom of the airbrush cup. it had a strange reaction and formed "strings ". I stopped immediately and cleaned the AB right away. Figured i'd ask if anybody has any experience with this stuff.
the brand is plasti-kote scratch color and i can't tell if it is enamel, acrilic or what.
