This paint is solvent based. I called the paint company yesterday to ask
about baking. They said I could bake but is was not necessary so I did not
bake the car. They were right because it dried very fast - a nudge too fast
for me and it had some negative impact in some areas. I had to have the
airbrush (Badger 200) wide open at all times and raise 5 pounds to 40
because the paint was thicker and I had no Tru-Color thinner here as the
paint was supplied with the car. I am very superstitious about mixing
thinner and paint brands. In spite of the airbrush being wide open were are
no runs which really surprised me and would have happened with Scalecoat. It
is supposed to be glossy but is satin at best. For dry transferring you
should be good to go I would have issues trying to decal.

 

If this company made a color no one else has I would be forced to use it
again. But in this case it was Red Oxide that I have 6+ bottles of Scalecoat
R O here at all times. I won't be buying any of it for me any time soon.
Perhaps I would get better results and have a different opinion if I had the
thinner here.

 

I will stick to using Scalecoat. They will take the last bottle made out of
my cold dead hands! (:->)
