Alclad II Lacuer Clear Coat

Post by seral1969 »

Does Alclad have an airbrush friendly lacquer clear coat?

I am using JT-Graphics decal, and someone recommended Alclad lacquers for the best application of the decals.

The ship is already painted with MM Acryl.

Would I have to prime over the acryl to to apply the lacquer?

Is there a better solution for JT-Graphics?

It must be airbrush-friendly.

Thanks in advance.

Future works fine.

I dunno about applying the Alclad over Acryl. I haven't tried it. I've used Alclad over primer - Tamiya Black Rattlecan or Gunze-Sangyo 1000. Then masked over the metal finish with parafilm or Tamiya tape, then paint acrylic over it.
