Being desperate to match the color of some UltraKote, I purchased a can of matching Hangar 9 paint.  I have heard negative reviews on this stuff and would like some more input before screwing up a perfectly good model.

1.  Is the stuff not adequately fuelproof for 10 -15% nitro as claimed?

2.  Is it so bad that it should be immediately taken to the toxic waste dump?

3.  What cautions should be used for the undercoating, I was planning to put it over a Nitrate Dope base.

4.  Without going into 2-part systems is there an alternative to matching Flame Red Ultrakote?

HELP!!!!!   

Larry,

I gave up on the Ultracote paint---it took days to almost dry and wasn't even close to being fuel resistant, much less fuel proof.

I think you will find Top Flite Lustercoat paint much better stuff.  The Lustercoat Missle Red is a very close match to UltraCote Flame Red----not perfect, but very close.  I mixed some Sig Light Red and some Sig Lemon Yellow dope to match the Ultracote Flame Red, but the Lustercote works very well.

Cheers,
Jim

Edit to add:  No intent to bash Horizon products; I like Ultracote covering much better than Monocote covering......

I am not familiar with the term "profit" as applied to paint.  What does it mean?

A profit is a machine they use to match colors. Auto paint drys in a hour.
