I was watching a video on YouTube and the subject was Alclad paints. They were spraying aluminum in color and used up quite a bit of the bottle on just a few parts.
I have never experienced this. When I use Alclad I only use a tiny bit of paint and get great coverage. For example when I painted this one up:
I only used a half bottle. This model is very large, the wingspan is 17 inches and the model is 11 inches long.
So my question is this:
Why do I use so little when others use almost the whole bottle on less than a hand full of part?
I follow the directions given on Alclad's web site. The metal Lacquers go over either a gloss white, or gloss black base.
I am pretty sure that in the video I was watching they sprayed directly on primer.
