Funny post on Facebook regarding hardware store spray paint…..
Using hardware store paint isn't necessarily crazy...blasting it on a project you have a bunch of hours in, without testing on something else first, is! *NM*
Re:THAT sums it up in one statement! *NM*
I just bought a can of Rust-Oleum aluminum silver the other day (not a spray can, but for brush application). It seems like it might be useful in some model applications, but of course I'll test first *NM*
There are teo model car builders in my past, who swore by either Krylon or Rustoleum (forgot which they preferred). The joke on one of them was that a LOT of models would show up at contests...in the same rattlecan color!
Spot on - but I get it
Most of time, the cans don't even claim to be "enamel" or "lacquer". So you have no idea what you're getting. And there is not much consistency. I think they mix them up using whatever type of ingredients they bought cheap. Especially the solvents. That's why sometimes you
Krylon had a line of bottled hobby/craft paints. Lacquer or enamel, depending on the color *NM*
Krylon was good, especially their satin black. I assume the formula has been altered in some way, likely to meet EPA regs, the result being it's just as bad as Rustoleum IMHO. *NM*
That is funny and accurate both! *NM*
Believe it or not, this is Krylon Chrome Silver. Turned out okay, I think. *PIC*
You really did an awesome job on that model, Terry... And while I've seen Damnation Alley a few times, every time that I see your model, I can't help but think of the music video for the song The Wild and The Young, by Quiet Riot...
That's why I use Duplicolor. 8^)) *NM*
The author of the post is a better writer than he is a painter.. *PIC*
Hey, I just shared the post, I didn't write it. I thought it was funny. However, the finish on the kits you are showing is certainly not the norm for rattle can hardware store paint. I'd say you are a master of that craft. *NM*
I knew. And you're right, it was pretty funny. Not sure I'm a master, I'm just fairly good at fixing my mistakes! LOL. *NM*
If Iremember correctly, there is someone that posts here from time to time (Retired Soldier), who frequently shows a can of Krylon as the color he used on his latest build. *NM*
