Yea, I have a couple. First read their directions. you can't go wrong there. I use a siphon jar with the siphon tube cut up about 3/16" from th bottom of the jar. This is to keep the metal particles from settling and then not enough carrier (clear stuff ) mixed in causing a grainy finish. As the time passes keep giving it a swirl every so often to keep everything mixed thourghly. The directions say to "mist" in 3-4 light coats. This is crutial. If you flood the model with it, you will end up with a finish that resembles orange peeling. SNJ is a "hot" paint. It will eat into the plastic if too much is applied at one time. I set my airbrush to the finest setting to spray. This stuff is so thin it floods easily. I often wind up applying 5-6 coats for coverage to avoid flooding and eating of the plastic.
Good luck
Drew
Take this plastic and model it!
