polytranspar paint

Recommended Posts

I don't use lacquer so can't comment on it. I use various brands of acrylics including Polytranspar, Createx, Smith Wildlife, and Van Dykes. I mix and match brands and dry each "shot" with a hair dryer and have had no issues with different brands being incompatible. I like Createx as a base palette becaue their paint is very consistent. Smith Wildlife has some nice fish colors but I'll use any brand if the color's right. The single brand/color I use the most is Polytranspar Superhide White for color basecoating. It has lots of white pigment and covers wood grain fast, it sprays well, and it dries quickly to a hard gloss that's more durable than any airbrush paint I've tried.

I use the same colors/products as BobP and 76gator. The superhyde works very well. Watch out for the bright orange; coverage qualities are not that great. Also smith wildlife colors especially the flip flop colors.

question> can you use dick nite over the aforementioned paints? I know it works well with heat set createx.
