A few weeks ago I reached out to Donn to see where I could get a certain color paint. He recommended I try MCW paint , I contacted Mike who very nice and helpful. Within a week I received my paint, and it was an excellent match.
This will be my go to paint supplier from now on!
Thanks for reviewing the product. I am glad you liked it. If there is anything you need, let me know. Again, THANKS!!!
I bought from MCW as far back as 1995... got out of the hobby, but recently just bought a Tamiya 1/20 F1 Ferrari... so glad to see you guys are still around. The BEST paint!!
The dark gray primer before red paint.... this just happened to me. Paint looks smooth and good, but way too dark. You live and learn lol. Thanks for the tips Don
Damn, this friggin guy is pretty damn good.
My LHS is now stocking MCW paints and I must say they are amazing. Best replacement I've found yet for the Old Model Master paints. So good to see MCW finally becoming something you can buy locally now. Thanks Don for the videos!
Are MCW airbrush ready, or do they need to be thined?
dam your so great at what you do and smart about your product that you use guys like me could only wish we had the talent that you have i know it take time now that i'm on the back side of time i don't havethe time any more but i love watching you do great things with this hobby
Dehydrator....? Brilliant idea,
Thanks for the video
Hi Don, you should test the new Gravity Colors paints we sent you also.
that's a pretty color on that nova wow
"You didn't throw him did you!?!" Hilarious.
I need to know how to disassemble the Passche H airbrush pen, the needle and paint tip. I can't get the screw out of the tip.
I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks
Jesse
You have to remove the set screw on the ball first . Turn the needle counter clock wise while tightly holding the body sleeve that holds the bottle .
Love you videos. Still watching some to catch up. I have used easy off to strip paint. But sometimes it doesn't work. And what are your thoughts ok krylon paint
Great video Donn. Mike has a great product. I hope others will give it a go
Was the paint used here thinned, or just out of bottle?
Great work.
Modeling is very relaxing. But, that compressor running next to me… not so much
As always, a great professional and informative video by the master.
Really interested in the MCW resin 1965 Comet two door sedan body kit. Do you have this on your radar for a review or build. Thanks !
dose jake hire out to catch mouse'e i can get him a jod you both make ma smile alo thank guys for the fun you guys have lol
Now in this episode did you shoot the MCW paint straight with no lacquer? And also, would you use MCW 's reducer or lacquer thinner?
I shot this color straight out of the bottle . When it needs to be reduced , you can either use Mike’s reducer or the lacquer thinner as I did on the Patreon Charger body .
Great vid donn. You paint alot like me.lol
Thanks for sharing! Question for you old man, what do you do with the inside of the body? Paint wise? Happy buildinh
+B.S.G Kustoms! I spray the inside first or brush paint it afterwards , depending on what color combo I am going with .
Curious... On those food dehydrators... Is there anything i should watch out for when trying to find one or anything in specific i should look for when looking for one to dry bodies with or what?... Im going to break down soon and get one of those 80-90 dollar portable spray booths to airbrush so i can start using my Paasche H single action
Thanks

+68gto400 Sean , check Bed Bath & Beyond for sales . I suggest a multi thermostat setting . I have mine set on 95 at all times & have not had one minutes worth of trouble . As for the spray booth , I suggest staying away from the plastic units and going with a metal one .
@@ScaleModelTechniqueshow long in the dehydrator?
Thanks

Hi...
Im doing my 1st model it will be primed with Duplicolor with same paint rattle can...just wet sanded with 1000 wet...why did you do so many sanding grit steps 1000 to 12000? I just did my 1st wet sanding took me a while to get the mold lines & shine off.
Thanks
By taking the bare plastic all the way up to 12000 , you are providing an ultra smooth surface for your paint to lay down on . The smoother the surface to be painted , the smoother the paint finish will be ......
@@ScaleModelTechniques i started with 1000 and will go up...
Should be fine eh?
rookiewidowmaker Yes , patience is the key .....😎
Seemed like a lot of passes to cover. Or was that just for the demo to show how well the paint can layer?
David Juhasz No sir , light mist coats on everything that I shoot . A bit more time consuming , but it lends itself to a finer paint finish .....
I’ve seen some guys just go for it and paint the hell out of the body...you build it up it looks like. So I’m a bit confused ....what’s better just go for it or build it up? Does it depend on the paint your using? As soon as I figure out how to order your videos...I will... gotta talk to my techs...(kids daddy needs help) ...any advice would be much appreciated.. first time using an air brush..
Light mist coats are the only way to go . Spray and pray usually results in too heavy of a coat , loss of detail , paint pulling away from the doors and trunk , and a lack of overall color uniformity ......
@@ScaleModelTechniques I guess everyone has their own technique, but I like the way you do it. And your absolutely right on too much paint at one time will cause loss off detail. Learned that from prior cars I’ve done! So spray and pray I will...thanks again!
Yost method?😳

Is there a special brand of brake fluid you used .? Thanks
Rob , no special brand , I usually buy the cheapest I can find .
Dupli-color have nice spray nozzles.
I have a question , my local hobby shop owner says he believes Testors might be getting out of the hobby paint business . He says they are phasing out a lot of products . Any insight on this ?
+Dennis Hudson Just had a discussion with one of my local shop owners . It seems that PPG paints now owns Testors and they are in the process of reorganizing throughout . They are in it for the long haul and plan on bringing back more discontinued paint lines and expanding on others for the hobby . Only time will tell ....
A late response but I spoke with a representative from Testors yesterday and they are only removing some paints that aren't very popular in the military line and RR colors. The vast majority of colors are not being phased out whether they are metallics or military, gloss or flat. Also, they are not phasing out the enamel paint line as so many on the forums state. This coincides with a previous statement Don made where people hear a rumor/assumption and pass it on as a fact repeatedly until everyone believes it. Testors will be around forever I bet. That info by the way came from a woman who has been a representative at Testors for 29 yrs.
Hi Donn, what paasche tip # did you use?
#5 tip nozzle & needle assembly
fantastic videos, with the technique you are airbrushing could be used zero paint colors or mrp colors ?
In a word , yes !
Did I hear you applied this at 20 psig?
Yes
@@ScaleModelTechniques Do you normally shoot this high or was this specifically for this particular paint? Thanks!
@@mikeb8644 I never really shoot enamels at 32 psi .
i wish you had a school guys could go to you make a go teacher
Wayne Wootton Check out our Patreon channel ......
I noticed you don't wear a mask. Is there a reason for this??? Just curious.
+Paul McWilliams I do ... Tough to talk through a mask during a video ....It makes me sound like Kenny from South Park .....
Careful use Ford on Chevy no-go
