MCW Finishes Enamel Model Paints 15ml – Automotive Colors MCW Finishes released a new
line of enamels to replace the discontinued Testors Model Master Colors are mixed to the
original factory formula For Airbrushing Please Note: MCW finishes recommends thinning their enamel paint at about three parts paint 1 part thinner for their flat colors, and 3 parts paint 2 parts thinner, up to 1-part paint and 1 part thinner with their gloss colors. MCW Primer needs to be thinned 1 part primer to 2 parts thinner. This will vary depending on your airbrush and spraying conditions. MCW recommends using their enamel reducer or lacquer thinner. Do not use mineral spirits. In their trials, they sprayed the paint at about 25-30 psi. Depending on airbrush and conditions you may want to adjust your pressure up or down. MCW recommends spraying it a lower pressure for fine details also for fine details you may want to some more reducer. MCW Enamel Clear (1017E) is a crystal-clear enamel. It will dry on its own but stays soft. MCW recommends using their 1017EH Clear Hardener. The mix ratio is 2 parts clear to 1 part hardener and thin as desired. You can add MCW Enamel Hardener (1003E) to the paint which will fully cure it in eight hours at 70 degrees F. This will make the paint less likely to be reactivated with additional coats of enamels. If you want to add the hardener, the ratio is 8 parts paint, 1-part hardener, and 1-2 parts thinner. MCW recommends that you do not add hardener to any paint that you do not plan on using right away. If you are using a color cup, use a pipette to mix using the above ratio. MCW recommends using a good primer like the MCW line of primers to help adhesion and to help avoid pooling or pulling from high and low spots. Once dry the paint can be wet sanded and buffed to a high shine and one of your favorite clears can be applied. MCW recommends thinning their primer 1 part primer to 2 parts thinner.
MCW recommends that you practice before using MCW paints as in most cases they tend to shoot a lot different than other paints you may have used.
