| Subject: | Striping Paint, as Weathering? |  |
| Date: | Mar 20, 2001 |
| From: | MnR Dunck | |
I had amodel that I wanted to repaint, again. About 1½ years ago I painted a
model PanzerGrau (Testors Spray Paint I don't have a working airbrush)
Anyway, last month I repainted it Sangelb (over the existing paint), and
applied a wash. I did not like how the wash turned out. I read this thread
and decided to give the Easy-off a try. It took 80% of the top layer off on
the first application, leaving the original PanzerGrau paint intact. The
effect looked like chipped paint. Maybe it could be applied with a small
brush to control the application. So as to remove a top layer of paint along
a seam or corner to weather a vehicle?
