BigFish1973 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Why is my Opaque black not shooting real dark? Also it's running some and I haven't thinned it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishordie79 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Was the seal on the paint broken when you got it? I bought a set of Createx paint off of Amazon and some of the reviews were saying the the paint was old or that the seal was broken when they got it. I did not have this problem with the set I purchased, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenlures Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I bought some 1/4" SS ball bearings on E-Bay and when I open a new bottle I put one in and it helps mix up the paint, when the bottle is empty I just put the ball in the next bottle. Last for ever and it works some suppliers do it in there paints. Wayne 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishordie79 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 @ravenlures That's a great idea Wayne! Im gonna give that a try as well. One of the things about this hobby that I have noticed is that being as consistent as possible in every step of the process is a huge factor in successful builds. If something goes wrong it can be absolutely maddening and if you haven't done your due dilligence at some point along the way it can cost you. That said, every mistake I make makes me better at this. Thanks for the tip man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
