I base what I stated on Model Railroader Magazine and Walthers who both stated this fact years ago. Bob in Kalispell

At least two of the builders are close to a Hyundai plant and take the paint match coupons we provide to Hyundai to be matched - with automotive paints. Considering all of the super intricate paint highlighting available today on some cars and certainly motorcycles, this smells a bit more like a myth; but again I can only speak factually of models I've imported painted in Korea...

It will sputter and clog.
