                        Model Master Buffing Metalizer

                        I just picked up a spraycan of Model Master Aluminium Plate buffing metalizer and was curious about a couple of things.

                        One, being a lacquer paint, should I use a primer before I spray the metalizer in order to protect the plastic, and Two, what would be the ideal material to buff the finish with? I'm assuming something fairly soft, non-abrasive, and lint-free would do the trick (like an automotive polish cloth), but hey, I could be wrong. You know what you get when you assume. Big Smile [:D]

                        Thanks for any input.

                        well I never prime for it using it out of my airbrush so I think (assume? Wink [;)]) it would be fine out of a spray can...

                        as for the second part you are right on the spot!!! any lint free cloth would work...

                        SW LA huh? whereabouts? I am a Broussard on my moms side and we all hail from down around New Iberia/Broussard/Lake Charles area...

                        warning about the MM buffing metalizers... they are very fragile and rub off easily, unless it is an interior piece you need to seal it with their sealer for the buffing metalizers... Ask me how I know... Wink [;)]

                        i agre with tho9900 i used buffing metalizer and it does rub off vary easly you have to seal it with metilizer sealer or future, your choice ive sinced started to use non buffing metalizer but seal it right after its dryed or it will rub off due to handaling.

                        Thanks for the tip. I'm assuming (there I go again Wink [;)] ) that I would seal it after I've buffed it.

                        And you guessed it! I am indeed writing from Lake Charles, Louisiana. Actually, I'm in Moss Bluff, slightly to the north of LC.

                        Also, and I'm not sure what this could possibly mean, my mother was originally a Broussard too. [hick] Gawww-LEE! We might be CUZINS! [/hick] Laugh [(-D] She grew up in LeBleu, outside of Iowa, but that's not saying much, seeing as how it seems you can't spit without hitting a Broussard in these parts.Big Smile [:D]

                        Thanks again.

                        Kyle - actually believe it or not I KNOW we are cousins haha... (many times removed I am sure) my dad did the Broussard family tree back to about 1151 A.D. and there was one Broussard with 9 sons that came to Canada way back when.. the sons scattered all over La. when they were exiled from Acadia and 2 of the brothers settled near New Iberia... so if anyone is a Broussard they are our cousin. (each of the 9 sons had about 9-13 children and so on for the next generation... that's why there are so many of us!Big Smile [:D])

                        As far as the buffing, yeah... you *assumed* Wink [;)] correctly....
