I've used it since it appeared on the market. I also use many other brands of acrylic paints. They are, mostly, interchangeable and intermixable. You are not restricted to using just one brand. <br /> <br />Modelflex sprays great. Brushes poorly. I only thin with water, (Some colors, as needed) about 20lb pressure reading when air flow is fully on, about 3 inches tip to surface. Badger Universal. It does not have a good shelf life when opened. <br /> <br />My druthers of train store paint is Polly Scale. It has to be thinned a bit for spraying, but has enough body for occasional brush work. But I don't hesitate if the color I want is only in Modelflex. <br /> <br />No masking tape problems with any acrylic. I clean models with Polly Scale Plasti-Prep. I use Tamiya masking tape or 3M Fine Line tape. I leave paint store masking tape for house painting and drafting tape for drafting. My yearly cost for masking tape is about the same as a bottle of paint. Why cheap out?
