MCW Tutorial

[@gregtraut3827]

Very nice presentation, I love this paint as said sprays so nice. The only thing nicer are the folks selling it.

[@kregskorner8851]

Good video Mike! Was good to meet you and check out your shop. My wife and I stopped in from Michigan to grab some paint, cant tell you how impressed I was for the awesome service you provide, I was looking for the Ford medium yellow gold for a MACH 1 model I'm working on, just like that you went and mad two bottles for me... Thanks again.. Will be back

[@saltields7649]

I bought a can of ‘64 Olds Fern Mist and loved how it turned out on a Garage Cast ‘64 Cutlass kit. I can’t wait to get more of your products for more of my cars. I’m going to find some colors of yours to go on the ‘64 Cutlass 442 kit I got from you.

[@jjhistoricalmodels]

good work area, I will follow you to see your next videos. Regards my friend

[@michaelguest8571]

Thank You.

[@michaelevans9881]

I have a p38 lighting that needs assembly..but I don't have everything I need to assemble..tools and paints..stuff is not easy to get ahold of..and of course I don't want to assemble it until painted..then decals go on lastly..but I don't have a good hobby store around town/close by..

[@cruzer2123]

Nice video, thank you for your product.....

[@GaryHaley-r3v]

Do you still have printed lists of your acrylic lacquer paints? I prefer lacquer over,factory color match.Iwas recently at Route 66 model Raceway a bought six bottles of your enamel, loved it will buy a lot more

[@chadhoglund3117]

i have a paasche -thx suction feed airbrush and was very excited when you mentioned the adapter..how or where can I get an adapter so i can screw paint directly on airbrush? anyone have ideas? Ive looked with no success!

[@jayedwards9388]

So I have purchased a few of these paints to test and they came out absolutely amazing. Do you have a coupon for your site to order more. The shipping is what is preventing me from ordering additional paints. Thank you in advance

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Looks like great paint! Thanks

[@michaelguest8571]

Thanks, we also have in our line an extensive list of racing colors.

[@MikeCindyWhite]

I was just checking out the website and saw that! Very cool, I'm currently scratch building an old Richie Evans Chevy Caviler Nascar modified and he used GMC Omaha orange (NY state dot color) Do you guys carry that?

[@formulasd]

Yes we do.

[@MikeCindyWhite]

Thanks, I'll have to look deeper into it, seems a little pricey...

[@formulasd]

Bottles are a full ounce. enough to paint one car. Once you try it and see how much better it is over most other paints out there. We do not mix cheaper paint into clear lacquer. We use only PPG Duracryl toners and thinners in our paint system. It is single stage also, no base coat/clear coat.

[@carlkandetzki9077]

Going to get some of your paint

[@desertduck10]

Just watched the tutorial. I'm amazed at the apparent amount of time and Yellow paint sprayed on the black and no runninig..OH!

[@michaelguest8571]

Like I said, very hard to make them run. They cover very well.

[@guanabaragb]

Nice paint

[@danskidmore5157]

When using the 1017E gloss clear enamel, do you have to use the hardner with it?

[@jerrycarnesjr6440]

How bad is the smell I live in an apartment complex can’t vent out the window I’m using 5 gallon bucket modified to catch over spray from air brush hose traps fumes with water and sented cleaning agent

[@luciusember8666]

Great product and good information! How does the paint react in water usage? Would it be okay for model ships?

[@michaelguest8571]

It will hold up very very well to water. This paint is automotive grade and will hold up as such.

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Oh no, just thinned my lacquer with Mr surfacer leveling thinner. Thought it looked thin.

[@WoodyWorkshop-31A]

Great demo. Any shipping outside of USA?

[@michaelguest8571]

Yes, we will ship worldwide. Thanks for looking

[@WoodyWorkshop-31A]

Cool! Good to know. Will keep you in mind when I need factory correct automotive colours.

[@racefan32]

My understanding is Canada post is reluctant to handle stuff like that?

[@michaelguest8571]

No, they are such small amounts, that I have had no problems. It is a problem if any one container holds more than a quart

[@georgeclover3131]

When you say clean the airbrush with lacquer thinner from a big box store are you referring to regular lacquer thinner for nitro cellulose lacquer? I bought some of your airbrush thinner for water based paint. Will either work? Obviously I am sure your thinner is for thinning but lacquer thinner would be preferred for cleanup from a cost savings. I typically use windex to clean the airbrush now with other paints that are water based. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

[@michaelguest8571]

Yes, the lacquer thinner that you can buy at the box stores is great for cleaning. The thinner you purchased from us is automotive grade and has agents for flow and leveling.

[@MrBowlingjt300]

Super helpful video. Looking forward to test trying these for my first model car kit. Quick question what airbrush spray booth are you using? Is it safe to spray this paint through these type of airbrush spray booths? Thank you very much for your help!

[@michaelguest8571]

It is made by Paasche. I have been using it for a couple of years with no issues.

[@charlesball9977]

How long do I have to wait to shoot the clear coat #1017? Humidity is low enough and I just shot the top coat red #2016.

[@raymondchapman5990]

Are your paints all basecoat requiring clear ? I ask cause I prefer basecoat and a 2k clear on my models vs 1 stage paints.

[@michaelguest8571]

HI, All of our lacquers are 1k with no clear needed. This will give you a factory look, since the cars of the 50's , 60,s and 70's were not cleared. Any clear cn go over our lacquers with no problem.

[@kidmack1121]

Hello, wanted to ask a question so I looked for Contact info on your website, but couldn't find it. The Godaddy search engine sucks, you might want to ask for a refund. I wanted to ask if you are still offering your paint in aerosol cans?, because I would like to order the 7113 Chevrolet Antique Green and a matching matte opaque green in either aerosol or bottle for a matching vinyl roof. And the other question is when do you anticipate the paper catalog being restocked?

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

I’d hate to ask, but how does the enamel do if I have to strip it? It’s not the paint’s fault, but my airbrush’s. I love the color and tried wet sanding to save it, but I’m to the point where I think stripping it is a better thing. I normally use the dollar store degreaser to strip paint. Will that work?

[@michaelguest8571]

Have not tried stripping yet, but I would say DOT3 break fluid

[@stevenbongiorno9277]

@@michaelguest8571 well, it came down to me having to strip it. I used the dollar store degreaser, and the paint practically fell off by the next morning. My Passce H4 is coming in today, so I’ll be spraying the body with that tonight.

[@BennyCFD]

I've tried this stuff, and everything he said is true......................................................

[@Mr.Balance]

One quick question, is a Primer/Sealer needed for use on styrene? I'm assuming not, but I don't want to ruin a vintage kit!

[@michaelguest8571]

We always recommend a primer. We also recommend a sealer for red, yellow, or orange plastic as these colors can sometimes bleed through. MCW makes a great light gray primer that is sandable and part of our complete paint system.

[@donniegreenway8401]

Are the enamels mixed for airbrushes

[@michaelguest8571]

No, they are able to be brushed and thinned for airbrush

[@coyo419]

are all your paints pre-thinned? If so, how do they brush paint? Thanks

[@michaelguest8571]

Our lacquers are pre thinned and not brushable. Our enamels are not pre-thinned and are able to be brushed on

[@stevelarson2021]

Hi Michael: I am doing an aircraft model that calls for FS 27875 White. MCW has 17875 and 37875 but I don't see 27875 White. Is it available from MCW? Thanks, Steve

[@michaelguest8571]

That is just a semi-gloss version. You can get the 17875 and spray our 20% clear over it to get the desired color. Mike

[@stevelarson2021]

@@michaelguest8571 Thanks, Michael! Will do,

[@stevelarson2021]

@@michaelguest8571 Hi Michael. Could you give me the MCW number of the Clear you recommend? When you say 20%, is that part of the paint color or is it referring to a mixture of 20% Clear and 80% Thinner? What is the MCW number for your paint thinner? And what is the number of your Matt Black which is also called for in the paint specs. And finally, what kind of glue do you recommend for a T-28 Trojan Aircraft model 1:48. Thanks, Steve

Hey Mike Not sure but you might be my cousin? (Chris Hershberger)

Yes, If you dad was Jim, my mom's brother.

[@falgianibrandon]

Do you do made to order automotive colors that you don't have

[@michaelguest8571]

Yes we do. Give me a call at the shop and we can discuss what you need. 3308307755

[@zechlewandowski7905]

Hi Mike my name is zech I have a question

[@chuckymonster1000]

Do you have clear coats

[@michaelguest8571]

Yes, we have gloss, 20% flat (semi Gloss) 40% flat (matte), and 65% flat (dead flat)

[@JohnPol]

can we get it in Canada

[@michaelguest8571]

Yes, We ship internationally

[@johnrodriguez489]

Niceeeee!

[@PatRedmond]

TRY hard to make them run? Have you seen me airbrush? Challenge accepted. LOL. ;)

[@michaelguest8571]

If they run, turn model upside down and spray some more and it will level out.

[@randomplayer6247]

If you don’t primer it will craze as me I know 😂

[@charleslaine]

I thought these were enamel and not lacquer paint?
