It does look really good. In the past I have tried mixing colors. I am going to try leather next time. Thanks.

Looks good. What color did you use for the "red"? Ron W.
-
Thanks Ron for the additional info. I take they can be thinned with alcohol or Testor's Acrylic Thinner? I have a few bottles of it. Ron W.

I know this is an old thread but I will give my 2 cents because I use Testor's rattle cans top coats. I have gotten some good results by shaking them for a minute, then place them in warm water for a few minutes, usually 5 or so. Then give them another good shaking. I also use their lacquer cleaner to clean off the nozzle before and after spraying. Ron W.

Thanks Eagle. I use Testor's mostly, so I will stick to the acrylics too. Ron W.

Very informative explanation, but I was just stating that Testor's Dullcote and Glosscote can be used over (I should have said Testor's) enamels and acrylics even though it is lacquer based. I don't know if you can use it over other manufacture's paints. As for the 91% alcohol, I found that out the hard way on enamel paint when I was trying to do some filtering and washes. I used the alcohol to clean and moisten the paint brushes and it did a number on the paint! Ron W.

Has anyone used Testor's washes and stains? I guess they have been out for awhile but I just barely found them. Thanks, Ron W.
-
I have used Testor's Dullcote and Glosscote, both rattle can and brush, over enamels and haven't had any problems.

I keep a log of type of paint, thinning ratios, pressure used, and how much the needle is open. It helps me keep track of what works and what doesn't. A double action airbrush is more complicated to use, in my opinion, and will require lots of practice just as a single action will. Ron W.

Had me scared for a minute there.

That is a nice job
