fredwrekin Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I've recently completed the build of a 13T Steel Open wagon, an etched brass kit bought second hand from ebay. Having never painted a wagon in Bauxite before I purchased a bottle of RailMatch Bauxite 323, along with Weathered Black 412, Early Freight Grey 322 (all enamals) and matt varnish. I airbrushed the chassis (2 actually) in Weathered black thinned as I normal would with Humbrol paints. All was good, in fact I was very impressed with the RailMatch black. Next day I thinned the Bauxite ready to spray but instead of it thinning it actually seamed to thicken and separate. I tried 2 different brands of thinners, white Spirit & cellulose none of which mix with the paint. I then purchased the brand of thinners recommended by Railmatch which arrived today. A quick test reveals the same results as previous !! Any suggestions, any previous experience of this problem ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelG Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Sorry I can't help with enamels. I use Rail Match acrylic's and the bauxite has worked out well as has their other weathering colours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted May 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2020 I suggest that you get in touch with Howes Models, who sell Railmatch paints both wholesale and retail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
