Looking for tips on using Scalecoat 2 paint
#3
I want to add something I was taught many years ago at a paint clinic run by PPG. It pertains to automotive paints From the 60's and 70's but I think it will also apply to most model paints. You want to start with a light coat and let the solvents flash out. after that happens you can apply a second heavier coat because the first coat will absorb some of the solvents and help keep the paint from running. if a third coat is needed it can be even heavier, just be sure the paint is allowed to flash well between coats. each coat will bond together and it will just be one coat when finished, and as Wayne said it takes several days for the paint to cure.
I saw the second coat lift the first coat on a car I was painting when it was very hot and I waited too long for the second coat so timing has a lot of bearing on the job.
