Years ago MM put out a manual that went on display next to the Metalizer paint rack.  I managed to get one about 15 years ago.  MM may be releasing them again.  Check with the hobby shops in your area and see if they have them.

That reference on the back of the bottle is very old indeed, harkens back to say late-80's.  Testors' new Modelers Technical Manuel, page #87 has complete info on usage, tips, masking, and other comprehensive instructions.  This is covered in the Laquers section under "Product Guide" of the manuel.

Sureshot, I have one of those 'manuals' (and the Technical manual that is wirebound), but it is just a pamphlet.  I can scan it and email it to you, if you wish?  It doesn't give a whole lot of information.  Mostly do's and dont's like:

 * dont mix buffing and non-buffing colors
 * dont use high tack tape to mask, they recommend wet newspaper cut to the shapes you need.
 * use thier thinner for cleaning
 * dont buff for at least 10m on the buffing colors

That sort of thing.  I can get this to you if you wish, since it is 'out of print'.  Better than you ruining or wasting some paint.  :)
