Scalecoat II C&O Blue

[casmmr]

I painted 3 Atlas GP-9's with Scalecoat II C&O Blue, S2091.  After 24 hours, the paint is tacky and is flat, no gloss at all.  I used Scalecoat II S2010 on some open hoppers at the same time, and the black is glossy.  Any ideas on what is wrong?  Can I spray gloss cote over the paint without any problems.  I usually coat with dull cote after decaling.  Thanks in advance.

I've used a lot of Scalecoat II, and I never saw that problem, ever. If you airbrushed the paint on, did you use Scalecoat II thinner?

I'm at a complete loss.


Hmm... as usual...

I get funky results if I don't mix the paint well.

I really shook the can before painting.  The air temp was around 80-82 when I shot the gp-9s.  I shot the open hoppers with black first, then went to the C&O blue for the gees.  I never had this prob with scale coat before either.

Yup , been there , done that , the paint needs to be stirred as well sometimes.

Did you try the paint again on something else? It just may be that the paint is regular Scalecoat I in the wrong can,the stuff for brass you have to bake..Does the color look right? Maybe try putting them in the sun to dry them..
