Acrylic over Monokote??

(1/3) > >>

Paul Taylor:
Anyone have any experience airbrushing acrylic over monokote?

This would be for an electric so not too worried about fuel resistances.

TIA

I belive it can be sprayed and will hold as most of the paints i have tried, but i doubt it will stay there due to monokote expansion rate x stiffnes of the acrylic paint.
i would shot a 2 part clear over or use 2 part paint instead

Hiya Paul
Yes you can.
I have twice used rattle can automotive acrylic over monocoat without a problem. But slightly depoloish with steel wool, then a light primer coat- almost just a dusting. Next, a few very light top coats to a gunfinish shine.- you don't really want to hard polish paint over monocoated open bays, other than a light hand buff to avoid stretching the monocoat

Paul Taylor:
Thanks Guys
I’m using a water base acrylic paint. I have made up a test piece to see how it plays. Not going over open bays. Will post my results. 😉

Do a masking tape pull test on your sample.
