In short , it's nonsense .Mission Model paints need to go down " wet " . If they go down too thin and dry ( like spraying too far away from the work ) they have bonding issues .This exact thing occurred to me when I did the MM colors over the liquid masking on that BV-155 . That was a atop a base color of AK Real Color , atop Tamiya's rattlecan primer .After I sprayed the colors down , I remembered that they don't do well sprayed down super light like I did and expected to have problems .They did have weak to no adhesion . Even after a conservative cure time . Like days and days in the food dehydrator at 105 F .I top-coated it with Liquitex Satin Varnish and continued on with no problems .This continuation included liberal mopping of water-color as a wash so plenty of water was mopped all over the build repeatedly .No issues with the paint coming up after the varnish anchored it . The varnish also cured days in the dehydrator prior to the water color assault .There was also enamel pigment fixer applied to areas .Other than this weakness , MM paints are fine  -- but I've switched over to AK Real Colors .</blockquote>
