Rc paint backing

So I'm in middle of project and went and got paint yesterday the local hobby shop did not have any backing I got half can of white laying round can I use that as a backing on Indy silver and outlaw black kinda new to painting this only my third body thanks for all the help

Yes u can. I use white to back on a florescent green. The white makes it much brighter. Next time u go in bulk up on paint apparently parma isn't makeing paint anymore. ?!?!?

Very nice Ty for help chase

Dont forget to show us when your done.

I will for sure it's under crawlers topic: another project

Yeah I seen. Its looking good..love the engine block.

So I'm doing some more painting today and got another question I got some Indy silver and out law black from pactra for actuall paint job so the question is I have some gloss white by model master I was gonna use as backing will the model master and pactra go ok together with no problem considering they're both by testors ?

I've used Pactra's Indy Silver and Outlaw Black with their "Sprint White" as my backing. I'm guessing that the model master White will be OK but it might be a good idea to test it on a piece of scrap Lexan to be sure.

Very nice Ty GPS for the lil tip of testing on seperate Lexan that's something I'll be remembering

Just so there's future reference if anybody needs to know model master and pactra sprays do work together

The guys at Mild to Wild told me Testors was going out of business.

Tester going under? That's sad they have been a part this and many other hobbies for as long as there has been hobbies hell I've been using testers products of one kind or another all my life I'm gonna miss em

That's what I was told recently. I've been using them since forever also. Anybody who built plastic models probably used Testors paints in the little bottles. Until a couple years ago I still had a bunch that were probably 20 years old and I threw them away. Had I known I might have kept them even though they were probably dried.

I confirmed with a Lhs that in fact testers is out of business there is still paint on the shelves but it is old stock once it's gone testers is no more

Isn't cox part of testers too I'm pretty sure they are I've had some old tether cars that were made by testers and the engine was a cox on every one

Good question. I am not sure but I recall the same with some string controlled airplanes.

Your right I can't think of a single testers control line plane that doesn't have a cox engine and I have a Dumas skivee that has a cox 049 and testers stickers that came with the engine

It's a shame to hear bout testors what other options are their for Lexan paint

Boy I don't know for rattle can I air brush and there are a few options there for air brush it's more a mater of what reducer I use I have to go with acrylic urethane but for doing plastic models I can still do some with air brush but testers made my brush paint I preferred and the only glue I have ever used I have tried others but none I have found work as good

Tamiya. But expect to pay double.
