Re: some new stuff
Fres,
I cant give the Kustom striping enamel a fair evaluation, reason being when I ordered the four cans I bought I did not order their reducer, thinking I could use the same mineral spirits I use with 1Shot. Wrong! Kustom does not play well with mineral spirits, or Naptha, or denatured alcohol. Lacquer thiner works marginally. Using the stuff straight up with no reducer and comparing it to 1Shot with no reducer the K does not flow nearly as well for me. Plus the stuff smells funny, reminds me of silk screening paint. I hate to throw good money after bad and buy the reducer (which ain't cheap) only to find out i still don't like the stuff. Maybe I will use what I have unreduced for lettering practice. Pete Finlan is probably getting his paint free for the endorsement, no wonder he likes it. I hear there is some stuff called Ronan that flows like 1Shot and covers better and the reds have less tendency to fade. I havent tried it yet. I totally like the urethane striping enamels but not for practice, it is expensive and contains isocyanates, at least the catalyst does so i would want to wear nitirle gloves and a respirator. i don't mind this if Im doing a serious job to be buried under clear coat, but not for practice.
