If the same size, I'd worry about the durability -- the legs don't look as substantial as on the Porta Pad.Naoto Kimurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762712349150120196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-30085613818486050812017-01-07T10:55:46.485-05:002017-01-07T10:55:46.485-05:00Hi Naoto,

I just sprayed the Solar Warrior and had a very small spot where the paint bubbled up! I don't know what to say except be sure you are using paint from the same manufacturer and follow drying and re-coat times to the letter!Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-67891543388956445602017-01-06T16:04:00.908-05:002017-01-06T16:04:00.908-05:00Hey Chris,

Did a scratch Mercury Atlas build and a clone of the Titan IIIE. Paint was tacky for days after application. Used the chrome as a base paint then masked for secondary colors, the tape marred the chrome finish.<br /> Would like your opinion on another problem with chrome paint that I haven't seen mentioned. Occasionally there are areas where the paint seems to be repelling itself, leaving an uneven finish. If it's OK with you can I send some pictures to your Odd'l rockets e-mail? This is driving me crazy!BAR Geezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981340513882399606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-1076078336851064902017-01-06T10:47:27.296-05:002017-01-06T10:47:27.296-05:00Hi Moontana,

These aluminum paints go on smooth, dry very quick (within minutes) and look great. Careful with any Rusto Metallic colors though. If you mask over them they can pull up when the tape is removed.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-30388140723215420492017-01-06T10:10:34.959-05:002017-01-06T10:10:34.959-05:00Hi Chris,

I have always had great results with Model Master Enamel Aluminum but I have to use my airbrush.Moontana Rocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439669903556821736noreply@blogger.com
