[QUOTE="blakeh1, post: 209192, member: 10905"] I sprayed a model a couple of days ago with. Coverage on it was horrible over a black base so I quickly rinsed it off under water. After letting things dry, I did a coat of Tamiya XF-20 to cover most things. once dry, I airbrushed a coat of the missions models stuff and the color looked perfect, and everything seemed to be working fine. The next day I noticed a few spots that could use a touchup, so I did a few touchup areas. Let it dry for a few hours, then taped off some areas for white markings. A few more hours went by and I sprayed some white Tamiya over it. When taking off the tape, I noticed what seemed like the tape glue sticking to the paint. However I think it actually was just the mission models paint that had turned back to tacky Thinking I could use water to help get what I thought was the tape glue off, the Mission Models paint actually started to dissolve. It was behaving like water color or guache would when and reactivating. So much so that I actually wiped off all the paint that had been applied in the last few days cleanly right down to the Tamiya base XF-20 base coat. Has any one here used Mission Models paints before and have you ever had a problem with them not being waterproof. Possibly a bad bottle of paint, or should I just stay away from that paint line all together. Never had problems like that with Vallejo or Tamiya [/QUOTE]
