catfan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 so since there seems to be a lot on tomcats hear. i have a question for every one which is i see a lot of people do the salt idea to a freshly painted tomcat so would this idea work with acrylics or dose it have to be enamels or lacquer paints?

THX1138 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It should work with any kind of paints, al long as you stick to one kind. If you apply enamel over acrylics, you could run into nasty issues. Same goes for laquer over enamel. Arcrylics and lacquer would work best, since they dry very fast and are rock solid. Enamels stay softer for a while longer, and the chipping won't work as good. I'd avoid spraying enamels altogether. Salt weathering is not easy. Pratice on something cheap (old kit) before doing it on the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 OK so the reason i brought up this question is because a lot of paints at the hobby shop i go to. they sell acrylic paints and i was thinking of using the testors paints for my tomcat paint jobs. so i want to see if i get that cool weathering with the testors acrylic paints Quote Link to post Share on other sites
