Hey Bill, nice artwork! i use AA and autobourne, do you have any experience in these paints to compare it to mipa? also, are there any outlets in australia that stock these paints?

My Initial thought was SPAM until the last line where you mentioned Oats. Nice work...............................Kwit

[Trublu]

Very nice artwork. Mipa sounds similar to Etac paint. Are there any differences?

[KINGCOR]

sorry for the caps,my old monitor and eyes make it tough to view text.mipa is very similar to auto-borne.mipa airbrush paint is only available in the us at this point,but i will be looking into ways of shipping outside the us.mipa airbrush paints are sold directly to you.no distributors.it will take longer to generate sales,but i would rather have a relationship with the customers.(the end users) slow steady growth is my goal,with service before,during and after the sale.a small family orientated part of mipa is the business model for mipa airbrush paints.

DON, sprayed both mipa and auto-borne,he can post his feedback.

THANKS BILL

[KINGCOR]

I have not sprayed etac and can not answer .oats can answer he has sprayed both,I can tell you mipa is a concentrated formula.we decided not to reduce the formula.this will allow the artist to decide how fast coverage is needed.(fast covering for background with no reducer) with the ability of this paint on several surfaces you can control viscosity and how fast or slow to get coverage. on the other hand a new painter may need to play around and find the proper reduction that matches the airbrush and equipment.a 1:1 mix,1 part paint and 1 part reducer is a good starting point.mipa water borne paint not reduced will cover 2 times faster than urethane.
THANKS BILL

[Sabreghost]

this is starting to interest me, hope don finds time to post feedback..

[oats]

I can give some feedback on Mipa Water Borne Paint. It sprays very well and covers extremely good. The difference between this and Etac , that I found impressive was the color selection. They also have a one part Primer that can be put directly over bare metal with no epoxy primer down first and it's rust resistent. I've been pretty busy with work and the pups but I'll be doing a couple of milk bottles soon from sandblasting to priming to base to artwork to clear and I'll try and do some progress pics along the way. It also has very little tip dry. a little with the white , but even uros have some with white. The black is a real rich black. This stuff is as close to uros as I've come across in a water based paint. Also Bill doesn't reduce it when he packages it so a 4oz bottle will go a long way. There also is no time limit with which you have to use the diluted mixture. If your looking for a paint system that is versatile and can be used on just about any surface, This is the stuff. Bill is a very knowledgeable person in the automotive paint field. whenever I've had a problem or question he has always steered me in the right direction. I don't think you will find better support from a distributor anywhere.

hope this dosnt post twice! computer keeps dropping out!! but like sabre hope this paint comes to oz, sounds very interesting, look forward to seeing some work with it oats,riki.

make that 3 now as I am a big fan of the solvents... I have always gotten great results and easy to use only problem is the instructions for us novices like which hardner do I use for the filler or the colour coat - I always get them confused H5, H10, or MS.... lol and there are so many languages on the containers too...

[landsbro]

Hmm,,,MIPA is made in germany right,,,i live in sweden is there a chance
to buy or try out for me...been using ICI (waterbased)for 10 yrs nothing have outdone these yet,,i have tested a few other brands through the years..
But i'm using MIPA HS clearcoat love the stuff ,,,,

[KINGCOR]

HI,lansbro
the paint store that you get the clear from should stock the wbc-water borne paint line if available in your country.I would like to ship worldwide,but shipping prices from fedex and ups are nuts.a small 3 pound box to sydney would cost $95.00,for $25.00 worth of product, this will not work.I will check with usps next.what clear are you spraying ? I should get a sample of a new 2-k water borne clear soon for evaluation.what about your urethane 2-k primer ? Have you sprayed HS-F41 or 4+1 primer ? with HS-F41 you can build body lines, it's the best urethane primer i have sprayed. Let me know what products you can find there.
THANKS BILL

Sounds cool Bill, and nice art work... I am interested in how well everyone likes it, I spray AA... spray it a lot.... so I am very curious on how well it sprays and price. So I will be keeping up with the reviews.
