Tomcat Tweeker Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well Alclad is a Lacquer. So I wouldn't. But it mixed fine with other lacquer based paints like Mr Color Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrowTRobot Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I was wondering, can you mix alclad with other enamel paints?? Yes, you can. I have mixed it with Testor's black & white enamels to produce varying shades, and it works very well. I don't know how long such a mixture would last in storage; I mix just enough for the immediate job. It sprays well and lays down well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I don't mix Alclad not even with another Alclad... but I do spray on top of 'em. Gives satisfiying results :) HTH Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crowtrobot, do you use thinner to make the mix in the airbrush or just add a some paint straight to the alclad?? Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GGoheen Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 You can, indeed, mix MM enamels with Alclad.....just be sure to add a small amount of lacquer thinner so you have the right consistency. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
