Sorry i went off topic with the airbrusing..i do hope the next time someone
uses one to paint a car with they will start a new topic on airbrushing!

I find it interesting the lable on new krylon rattle can douse not indicate
which type of paint it is.

The older krylon paint rattle cans for the interior/exterior Acrylic Lacquer.
The new rattle can krylon paint for indoor/outdoor must be enamel.

These can not be mixed.

:bigups: I had problems with Krylon doing the same thing as well. I went to Duplicolor - more money but I have had not issues since. I have also had good luck with Testors One-Coat as well as Tamiya rattle cans.
;) Thanks guys!

I too was stymied due to the lack of clarity on the Krylon can as to what kind of paint is in the can. I went to Krylon's website to see if they offered more insight into the type of paint and left the site without an answer. I did look at a couple of MSDS's and found it interesting that can contents varied by color. I can see how you would get a reaction if you are laying down different chemicals on top of one another.

You bet. If is says auto or truck/van on it in the duplicolor it is lacquer. Metalcast duplicolr is not lacquer. You can tell by reading the instructions. Lacquer does not have a recoat window... Also Duplicolor high build primer is worth it for sure.
