ScaleCoat Paint Opinions

Scalecoat is an excellent paint! I hardly ever use anything else. Best part about it, is it dries to a glossy finish, ready for decals. Coverage is good with all the colors except yellow and red, which will need a primer coat. Their gloss and flat clear coats are also good. <br /> <br />It's best to use the thinner that is recommended for it, i.e SC I or SC II. <br /> <br />I date all the paint I buy, and I have some jars from the early 90's that are still good, and I've not had much trouble finding it in the better stocked shops. You can also order it from on-line places, too. <br /> <br />I'm not at all impressed with Modelflex, as once you open the jar, the shelf life is about nil. Pollyscale is better, but I really don't care for water-based paints, and only use them if I can't get a close enough paint match by mixing my own.
