Paint Question

[Bortig the Viking]

Hi all, found this and thought it might be interesting to everyone.

I used Vallejo primer on all my models, never had any problem... I spray it on in thin coats and usually it can dry for 24h because of limited bench-time (but sometimes after 30min).

My paint is stored at normal room temperature, and shaken well the moment I put it in the airbrush (0.3mm needle).

I usually try to degrease most of the model with alcohol.

An interesting video Mark, 480 likes and only 19 thumbs down, so he didn't upset many at all.
I've tried both and the new Mig One shot ,that still needed thinners even using a .4 at 20psi.

I thought the mig one shot was just rebadged stynylrez, like UMP.

Just looked it up and I believe you could be right, looks like it's a repackaged Badger product. Makes you wonder how many products are repackaged.

Thanks for that Andy, hadn't heard that before. The only annoying thing is the lid to the container, Simon has found the same problem, If your not carefull you get far too much paint .

Yes John. I'd heard the rumour but then saw a video by Red Dragon Modelwerks where they toured the Badger factory. You could see the mig products on the shelves and they had a brief discussion about the collaboration.

And obviously Paul at UMP is quite open about his primers being rebadged Stynylrez.

In fact it's quite an interesting watch if you can find it. I was amazed at how many paint lines they do, even one for taxidermy!

You also get to see the paint mixing room, pretty much a manual affair.

Hi Mark

I found this one too and it makes interesting viewing. What I also note is that they are both acrylic polyurethane and so you would think behave very similarly.......

Thanks again.

Yeah, but they don't. LOL

Thanks Andy, found the video. Really interesting to see behind the scenes , caught site of the Mig One Shot as well . Seems a happy place , always good when there is little staff turn over and family members working.
