    I guess you have to be careful and test before spraying something important

      Cheers Phil👍. It really did aggressively attack the styrene and paint and as that paint was from a major chain,over here,I could see others might try it😲😭🤔

    I've always said this for a while the big cans of paint are not meant for models but they are for patio furniture lol 😂 playing chemist is like running a stop sign sooner or later you get hit...and models aren't cheap...and sometimes very rare... It's happened to me same crazing reaction melted plastic either from the start or years down the road it's best to stick to actual model paint... And stick to one brand for primer and color coat.... It is possible to use very hot automotive paints but a barrier primer is a must to seal the plastic from the hot solvent base. But in the long run it's easier and cheaper and time saving to stick to model specfic paints to many variables to deal with using other types... I still hear Donn Yost saying use model car paints cause models aren't getting cheaper!.... Good PSA Peter a subject more modellers should touch on and be honest about their end results it helps us all out and keeps us out of trouble... Thanks for sharing it with us.
